Manuscript Monday: Couples Q&A

FEATURING: MASON MICHAELS & ZOEY DANIELS
From Sweet Score – He’s a hockey defenseman with a frosting kink. She’s a baker with a no-bullshit policy. Together? Pure cupcake-fueled chaos.

Q: Who said “I love you” first?
Mason: Me. Loudly. Right after she threw a spatula at me.
Zoey: It was not a throw. It was a controlled launch. And I told him first—just not with words.
(Mason grins like he knows exactly what she means.)

Q: What’s the dumbest argument you’ve ever had?
Zoey: Whether or not cupcakes are a valid breakfast.
Mason: Spoiler: they are. Especially the ones with bacon on top.
Zoey: We compromised. He gets cupcakes. I get to hide the remote.

Q: Who’s the better cook?
Zoey: Me.
Mason: Also her.
(leans in)
But I do look great holding a whisk shirtless, so… it’s a team effort.

Q: What’s something the other person does that drives you insane?
Zoey: He sings pop songs off-key in the shower and thinks it’s romantic.
Mason: She puts Post-it notes on everything when she’s mad. I once walked into the kitchen and the blender had a sticky that said “YOU TOO.”

Q: Mason, what was your first impression of Zoey?
Mason: That she was too pretty to swear that creatively. And that I was one iced cupcake away from proposing.

Q: Zoey, when did you know Mason was it?
Zoey: He showed up at the bakery with a broken nose and still helped me lift twenty dozen cupcakes into the delivery van. That’s love.

Q: Final words for readers waiting for your story?
Mason: Come for the spice, stay for the cupcakes.
Zoey: And the man gets frosting everywhere. Interpret that however you want.
