Aurora's sweet tooth was something innate, a craving carved into her very essence.
The sight of chocolate made her mouth water uncontrollably.
"Thank you!" she beamed, tearing open the packaging without a second thought.
This chocolate wasn't just beautifully boxed; each piece was individually wrapped, adorned with a pink ribbon bow.
Biting into it, Aurora savored the taste, exactly what she loved!
It was so delicious that she couldn't help but check the brand, wondering if she could buy some more on her own...
"No need to look, you won't find it in stores."
"Huh? Why not?"
"It's artisan chocolate. You have to order it directly from the maker." Duncan said, a bashful smile creeping onto his face. "If you want some more...you can shoot me a message on WhatsApp. Give me three days, and I'll personally deliver it to you."
"..."
"I wonder, would I have the honor of getting Ms. Lopez's WhatsApp number?"
His current demeanor reminded Aurora of a freshman mustering the courage to confess his feelings, cheeks flushed with nervousness.
Aurora had seen this scene play out many times before.
Exaggeration aside, since middle school, she'd been the recipient of countless love letters from boys, with an actual group in high school dedicated to collecting them and placing them on her desk!
But she never liked any of them.
Ironically, she fell for Craig, who had ultimately rejected her...
The thought of him made Aurora glance towards where Craig had been earlier.
As expected, he was gone.
He must have left after taking the call!
Checking her phone, she noticed a new friend request.
"Seen this? My mom's unwell, had to rush to the hospital."
