Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Leo made three trips to bring back the meals they bought. The three of them finished eating and left the diner together.

Anya didn't have classes right now. It was already autumn, but it was still very hot at noon.

Leo handed Anya his car keys. "If you're feeling tired or hot, go to the car, crank up the air conditioning, and take a nap."

Anya stared at the hand Leo extended. She looked up at him. Her smile was twinkling like stars.

Leo chuckled, "You're zoning out again. What are you grinning at? Hurry up and take this."

Molly couldn't help but laugh at this spectacle. One straightforward guy and one soft-spoken girl, they were enough to keep Molly in stitches all day.

Anya took the car keys, while Leo and Molly went off to prepare for their next class.

Their schedules didn't overlap; Leo had his classes in the early afternoon, while Anya had hers later. After finishing his classes, Leo had to find Anya to get his keys back.

During the class, Molly received a call. Without wasting a minute after class, she rushed out in a panic.

This was out of character for Molly. However, Leo didn't think much of it. He navigated through the bustling crowd of students and, following Anya's schedule, went straight to her classroom with his textbooks. When he arrived, the class hadn't started yet.

In the classroom, Anya seemed to stand out, sitting alone in the front row while others huddled in small groups. She was quietly reading. This made Leo's job easier.

His entrance quieted the room. All eyes were on the most distinctive guy in the room. Everyone held their breath, waiting to see what he would do. The silence in the room was for Leo.

He walked straight to Anya, and gently tapped the table in front of her with his index and middle fingers, which was a signal that he was there.

Because of the silence, the sound of his tapping stood out in the room. Anya was startled. She looked up to see who had come. "Leo?"
