He hits every note just right -- and it really is at least partly because he is that good, but part of it, too, is how very ready Sonia is to accept it. Even this brief bubble of romance, however played, is something she'll take, almost greedy for it, and all the better for that she actually enjoys Byerly's company. Her eyes widen slightly, cheeks turning pink, and her lips part, an expression of soft, pure delight.
Her lips quirk into a smile, and she lets out a warm hm, turning over the sugar in her other hand. She peels back the rough paper with her thumb to reveal the soft wad of sugar inside and breaks off just the smallest bite before holding it out to Byerly. She hasn't quite withdrawn her other hand.
"You earned it," she pronounces, looking deeply pleased.
