Nice guys finish when the cake is frosted. Or however the saying goes.

I’m just an off-duty cop trying to salvage a failed food delivery. It’s the woman standing half-dressed in the doorway who thinks my friendly favor includes dessert re-decorating.I’ve got my own cake-required event tonight and a civic duty to uphold. Getting caught with fussed-up frosting and a public indecency charge won’t earn me any favors with the promotion board.Then again, I am a public servant--and a good one at that. The politest thing I can do is give this stranger the quick fix she’s looking for and then turn the other way.When it’s all said and done, we’ll never see each other again. No harm, no fouled frosting.Nice guys can have it all, right?
