Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 596

Sam was genuinely surprised, "You're a regular at that bakery too?"

"Yeah! Their cheesecakes are to die for."

Sam wasn't usually one for trinkets and baubles. Partly because Liz, his girlfriend, found them tacky, and partly because he thought himself too mature to be into such things, being in his thirties and all.

But this particular keychain had been with him since he got his smartphone. It was subtle, barely noticeable, yet this girl seemed to have an eagle eye for details.

"How many tries did it take you?" Mamie asked, biting her lip in anticipation.

"All in all... about three times, I guess?"

Hearing this, Mamie felt a pang of envy. Why did luck favor everyone but her?

Seeing her grit her teeth made Sam chuckle, "If you don't mind sharing your mailing address, I've got an extra limited edition one at home. I could send it your way." Mamie looked up, her eyes locking with his. They were gentle and smiling, reminding her of the boy next door who used to play with her when they were kids.

Sam was tall, handsome, with a demeanor that was both gentle and refined. Especially when he smiled, his eyes seemed to light up the room.

His presence was calming, non-threatening, like water embracing everything it touches.
