Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

The warmth of the girl's breath, tinged with a soft, sweet scent, made Connor's Adam's apple bob. He lifted his eyes to meet the girl's playful gaze.

Neither of them spoke, as if waiting for the other to break the silence.

Connor, feeling the tension, finally gave a slight nod.

Flora's smile grew wider, teasing him, "So, what does that mean? Yes or no?"

"Yes."

The word came out tight and a bit awkward.

Flora laughed, picking up her phone and positioning the camera to capture both of them. Just as she pressed the shutter, she planted a quick kiss on Connor's cheek.

"Done."

Satisfied, Flora leaned back in her chair, started editing the photo, and posted it on social media.

Finally, she placed her phone face down on the table, grinning at Connor, "It's up. Go give it a like."

Connor silently picked up his phone and clicked on Flora's profile.
