Reese felt a tinge of shyness, and her cheeks flushed as she looked at Lukas. "I never had any idea that you were such a sweet talker!"

Lukas immediately shook his head and assured her, "It's not flattery, it's the truth!"

Reese playfully quipped, "Back when we first met, I could never have imagined that you would find me attractive!"

Lukas was taken aback, but he quickly replied, "I was blind at the time!"

Reese had never expected to hear Lukas talk about loving with such seriousness. With a smile and a nod, she remarked, "You're right. Now let's eat!"
