#33. Cake

Tobias furrows his brow as he enters the kitchen.

"What's that smell?"

"I'm baking cake," Tris replies, pulling on a pair of oven mitts. "The chef gave me the recipe. Well, it's just a basic cake recipe. He wouldn't share the secrets to Dauntless cake." She rolls her eyes. "But hey, it's still cake, right?"

"Sure."

She retrieves the cake from the oven and places it on the counter.

Tobias shifts his gaze from her expectant eyes to the plate of dessert between them, and frowns.

"…Is it chocolate cake?"

"No, just… regular cake…"

"…So, why is it all brown?"
