“Mr. Cody Tucker!” Elyse was taken aback. What was he doing here? Cody greeted her with a smile. “I haven’t seen you for a few days. Your skills have really improved. You’ve obviously been practicing hard.” Elyse scratched her head, feeling a bit shy. She had indeed been working hard ever since Cody encouraged her to dedicate more effort. “Let’s head out. The concert hall is about to close. If we don’t leave now, we might end up spending the night here,” Cody gestured to her warmly. Elyse nodded with enthusiasm, packed her violin into its case, and quickly followed Cody.

The cafe, located next to the river and usually bustling with people, offered a view of the water from the windows. They chose a quiet corner and sat down. Cody handed her the menu, saying, “Order whatever you like. It’s on me.” Elyse chose a caramel latte and handed back the menu timidly. Noticing her choice, Cody’s usual composure wavered a bit.
