Lou gave a soft smile. If her best memory was of thieving, her childhood was likely not as pleasant of a one as Lou's had been. Sure, his parents didn't pay much attention to him other than urging him to get married in later years and he had few friends, but he was fed, had a bed to sleep on, and was allowed to bring stray animals home to care for them, and that was enough. He made a mental note about the baker story and decided tomorrow morning after church, he'd bring Maddie to the best pastry shop in town and have her pick out a bag or two of treats all for herself. He didn't even consider how thoughtful this idea was, he simply wanted to make her happy and didn't consider himself a man of giving, although to the outside eye, he certainly was.
