Gabriel suddenly blurted out, “Why not date anyone?”

Sylvia was taken aback by his question and slowly lifted her head, saying, “You’ve spoiled me with your fine dining, I’m afraid others just won’t cut it.”

Gabriel was at a loss for words.

She had indeed changed, grown bolder, always managing to leave him speechless with a single retort.

And yet, she delivered it with such earnestness, with such an innocent tone, that he found himself unable to chide her.

After her quip, Sylvia chuckled and went back to her meal in silence.

Once the meal was done, Sylvia brewed a cup of tea for Gabriel and made herself a coffee.

The aroma of coffee and tea mingled together – not clashing, but rather creating a harmonious blend.

Sylvia nestled into Gabriel’s embrace, her arms looping around his neck, “I’m not doing anything today, just spending it with you, okay?”

Her voice had a playful lilt, as if she was seeking praise for her decision.
