Lily beamed as she watched him place the book on the shelf, proud of her choice when seeing how perfectly fit in. While she was relatively confident that he'd like it, she still had that little inkling of doubt that could finally be silenced.
She stood when he did, humming happily as she followed him to the door. "You don't have to worry about giving me anything in return." She reassured, even waving a hand dismissively. "You look out for me, so that's the least I can do in return." She insisted, nodding to his instruction. She'll do her best, if nothing else!
Routine appointments with Zayne were common, to make sure that Lily's heart wasn't suddenly deciding to rebel against her. However, she was more eager than usual for this appointment to end. Once they had finished the usual routine and she would normally be getting ready to leave, she instead reached into the bag she'd brought with her for running her errands for the day.
"Oh! Before I go, I have something for you." She chirps, pulling out what seemed to be a book, and setting it on his desk. She was ever careful not to cover any paperwork or anything, and made sure that it wasn't in his way either. The book was in various shades of blue with some gold accenting to it, and no words on either cover or the spine. If he opens it, he'd find that it's a fake book, and inside are a few baggies with sweets in them, including some homemade cookies.

Zayne almost stands up to walk her to the door, but her announcement makes him stay seated. He looks at the book, curious, then looks back up at her.
"What's the occasion?" He raises an eyebrow.
Looking at it, he notices all the details, surprised and grateful for such a gift. Seeing no markings on it, he brings it closer to him to open it. It's then that he sees it's a box.
The sight of sweets makes him smile.
"You didn't have to... Thank you." He picks one of the bags, studying its contents. "These look delicious. Did you make them yourself?"
He feels his mouth already watering, wishing his break was sooner so he could eat them without having to wait.
Lily watched eagerly as Zayne investigated the gift, settling her bag back on her shoulder. His questioned earned a small giggle and a shake of her head. “No occasion. I found the book while I was out running errands the other day, and it made me think of you. Then I got the idea that you could use it as a secret sweets stash if you wanted, and it spiraled a little.” She admitted, her tone turning more sheepish towards the end of her explanation.
“I made the cookies yesterday, but the rest of it is just store bought.” She answered easily, having found a small selection of various sweets that seemed like something he’d be willing to try at least once.
