It was Kristy.

Rumor had it that Kristy held affections for Anthony, while he had always been disinterested in her.

It was unexpected to see them together, more so in this restaurant. But why did they choose this same restaurant as theirs?

Irritation crept in as Claudia felt Anthony seemed to pop up wherever she went.

Suddenly, she felt a gentle warmth brush against her Lips.

“What's the matter?" she inquired, looking towards Bennett who had just retracted his hand.

“There was Lipstick on your mouth's corner," he explained.

A blush spread across Claudia's face, "Oh, my apologies!"

It was so embarrassing!

She quickly pulled out a small mirror from her bag, but found no trace of lipstick.

Bennett seemed to understand her confusion. “I‘ve already cleaned it off."

"Thank you. Next time, just let me know. I wouldn't want your hands to get dirty."

"Alright,"

Bennett responded nonchalantly. "Have you decided?"

“I... IT guess."

Claudia found herself at a loss for what to order, but when she Locked eyes with Bennett, her words took a different turn

“What do you mean?"

“I'm not sure what I want," Claudia admitted, a slight hesitation in her voice.

The prices on the menu were unbelievably high and she considered it wasteful to order such expensive dishes.

Looking Claudia from across the room, Anthony felt a strong urge to approach her. He started to move towards her but was taken aback as he observed Bennett's hand tenderly brushing her lips.

Their interaction was soft, with a hint of Claudia's coy demeanor. The air between them was electric with intimacy.

A twinge of heartache surged through Anthony, his desire was to whisk Claudia away.
