"no, no no, it's all right, i'm not hungry" he said watching her make the pastries

"Can I at least make you something before you leave? I feel bad- you've helped me so much and I haven't gotten to do anything in return."

"yes you have, you've given me a good conversation" Alex said before yawning "but maybe something hot might keep me awake" he said

"How about some nice hot tea? I must admit, I'm a bit chilly as well. A hot drink is great for warming the body and keeping one well." Smiling, she began to boil some water in the meanwhile. When it was done, pastries waiting in the oven, she poured two cups of water and set up some good tea. She held a cup out. "Here. Try it."
