Charlene turned around.

The glossy, vibrant red of the candied apples caught her eye, and she felt a little tug at her heart.

Not too far off, Vesta, clutching a bouquet of red roses, was cozied up next to Thorne, deep in conversation. Jasmine, in a playful gesture, offered her half–eaten treat to Vesta.

Charlene turned her attention back to the vendor. “I’ll take a bunch of strawberries, please.”

Just as she was about to ask York if he wanted anything, he beat her to it. “I’ve got this.”

He quickly pulled out his phone to pay, taking the candied apples from the vendor and handing them to her. The candied apples were just a few bucks.

Charlene accepted them with a smile. “Thanks.”
