Selena was head over heels for Everett, to the point where she hardly ever noticed other guys. But Callum was different-his charm and good looks were enough to make her do a double-take.

It was only natural for people to admire beauty, and Selena was no exception.

Before Lily had even gotten close, she was already buzzing with excitement. Worried that her enthusiasm might overwhelm Callum, Selena suggested Lily and Grace hang back while she went to chat with him first. Grace quickly held onto Lily, saying, "Go on ahead. I'll keep an eye on this one. She won't bolt anywhere!"

Lily pouted. "I wasn't going to run."

Selena tousled her hair and handed her a cup of juice before making her way to Callum. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Dr. Campbell." Callum's dark eyes suddenly caught sight of Selena. She was holding a cup of juice, her smile brighter than the sun above them. "Brought you some juice. You've been hard at work."

He seemed caught off guard, a whirlwind of emotions flickering through his eyes, leaving him momentarily stunned.

Selena waved a hand in front of his face. "Dr. Campbell? Did I surprise you?"

Callum snapped back to the present, a gentle smile spreading across his lips. "Not at all."

When Selena handed over the juice, he took it without hesitation, popped in the straw, and took a sip. "It's great, thank you." Relieved, Selena said, "I was worried you might not like juice. A lot of guys find it too sweet."

Like Everett, the pickiest one of all.
