"For a host, you're fashionably late as always, Angel!" Kaitlyn teased, a playful grin spreading across her face.

Angel gave an apologetic look, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Cupcakes can be a bit finicky, but I hope they're worth the wait! I wanted to make sure they were perfect for our little gathering."
