''NOW, YOU CAN'T call yourself a connoisseur if you have not sampled each and every one of these. Hmm?'' Klaus stated as he sat at the large table in the courtyard with Hope on his lap, holding one of the beignets out for her with a smile. ''Here.''
Hope opened her mouth and took a bite of the pastry. ''Mmm, it's so good!'' The little girl spoke with delight through a full mouth, sugar covering her lips. Klaus chuckled at the sight before the sound of footsteps coming their way filled his ears.
''Yes, beignets!'' Evelyn's voice sounded through the courtyard making Klaus' head snap towards the doors of the compound and came face to face with Evelyn who had her arm linked with Lucien as they made their way over towards the father/daughter duo.
Lucien let out a chuckle as he saw the table with all kinds of sweets before saying, ''Isn't that a little too much sugar for a seven-year-old?''
''Well, you know what they say, food is the way to a girl's heart.'' Evelyn joked before she grabbed one of the pastries, taking a large bite out of it making Lucien smile at the adorable sight of his fiancée who had sugar all over her lips. He gently wiped the sugar away with his thumb before saying, ''If I had known that I would have tried it a long time ago.''
Evelyn let out a giggle and placed a kiss on his lips before she turned her head towards Hope, asking, ''Has Nik ever told you the story about our first beignet?'' Hope shook her head as they all continued to dine with the array of pastries Klaus had ordered to be laid for breakfast. ''No? You are in for a treat.''
Evelyn looked at her brother who had a smile on his face before he begun to tell the story, ''Long ago, three French nuns came to New Orleans looking for a fresh start. And they came here. They marched right into our courtyard, and they presented your uncle Kol, aunt Evelyn and me with these rather lumpy-looking, sugar-coated pastries.'' The Hybrid revealed as he held up a beignet in his hand.
''Well, needless to say, we were entranced, especially Kol, if he would see this there would be nothing left anymore.'' Evelyn chuckled as she recalled the memory, taking a bite of her own beignet. ''But, at the end of the story, we set them up quite well.''
Klaus let out a chuckle before saying, ''Well, I do recall, sister, that it was you who eat them all.''
Evelyn rolled her eyes at his comment while Hope looked at her father curiously, her brows furrowed slightly as she asked, ''Why did they come to you?'' She placed her pastry back down on her plate.
