A soft, familiar feeling washed over Zora out of nowhere.
“I can’t believe you know how to pay with your phone p>
Zora’s words confirmed the thought running through Leighton’s head.
Leighton went quiet for a second.
Does she really think I’m some out-of-touch rich guy who can’t use a phone to pay?
He voiced the question on his mind.
“It’s not like that,” Zora said.

She took a bite of her warm baked sweet potato, swallowed it, and tried to explain better.
“It’s just… guys like you never have to do small stuff yourself.
“People always hand you everything you want before you even ask. I didn’t think you’d ever need to pay for tiny purchases p>
Zora had always pictured Leighton living in a totally different world.
He’d
grown up super rich, with every luxury handed straight to him.
Even the bottled water at his place cost a fortune.

She’d honestly thought he’d never bother learning basic everyday payments.
He was a real wealthy CEO, owned a black card, and came from a loaded family.
Zora always assumed he’d just pull out a card and tell people to charge it.
Seeing him pay with his phone like a normal person truly surprised her.
“I had a privileged upbringing, not zero common sense p>
Leighton fell quiet after hearing her serious explanation.
“I know all the basic everyday stuff p>
He low-key wanted to complain to those novel websites.
Those dumb, unrealistic plots were messing up kids’ perception of reality.
“Oh, okay.” Zora nodded like she finally got it.

“I always thought you’d be the type to say, ‘Charge this, pack it up, and send it home. I want it, no arguments p>
She felt a little silly on the inside.
She was just a small-town kid who’d never met a real wealthy businessman before.
She only knew what romance novels taught her, and she’d believed all those fake tropes.
“Zora, you gotta cut down on these novels p>
Leighton sighed softly and patted her head gently.
She was so smart, yet she loved reading those cheesy CEO novels with zero logic.
“I don’t read that many, I swear p>
The two walked toward their next stop-the roasted nuts stand right next door.
They got in line together.
“Is it good p>
Leighton stood behind her, watching her eat bite after bite of the sweet potato.
“So good.” Zora nodded quickly.
No wonder this stand always had a huge line.
These sweet potatoes weren’t baked in a regular electric oven.

They were wood-fired, which gave them a warm, rich, one-of-a-kind flavor.
“Wanna try some?” Zora asked.
“Sure,” Leighton answered right away, like he’d been waiting for her offer.
Zora scooped up a spoonful of the soft, golden sweet potato and held it out for him.
A warm, sweet aroma drifted through the cool air.
Leighton looked down at the spoon, then leaned in to take the bite.
Zora stared up at him quietly.
He tilted his head slightly down, his soft hair falling across his forehead.

He had sharp, clean brows and a tall, straight nose.
His lips were pink and perfectly shaped.
As he bit into the sweet potato, Zora randomly swallowed hard.
For a second, she thought his lips looked way more tempting than the dessert.
A group of girls walked past and silently freaked out over the sight of them.
“They’re literally perfect! Total main character couple energy p>

“Look at this scene! The tiny cute girl is feeding the hottest guy ever while he leans down for her. This is peak romance p>
“Fr! They stand out so much! The whole crowd around them feels invisible. The warm street lights look so dreamy on them. They look exactly like a book couple come to life p>
Zora’s baby fat was gone now, leaving her with smooth, delicate facial features.
Her eyes held calm confidence, making her look more mature and grown up.
Leighton was still young too.
He’d taken off his suit jacket, wearing a simple khaki button-up and casual pants, looking just like a college student.
They were both incredibly good-looking.
Anyone would stop and stare at a couple this stunning.
