Kirk pulled Caroline into his embrace. âNot very long. Are you hungry?â
âNo. You?â
âA little.â
Kirk hadnât eaten much at the hotel.
âThen what would you like to eat?â Caroline allowed Kirk to hold her. She even wriggled slightly further into his embrace.
It was so warm in his arms.
âWhat about you?â
Caroline smiled. âIâm not hungry. How could you forget so quickly?â
âEven so, I always put your needs first.â
Kirk put his hands on Carolineâs shoulders and looked at her solemnly.
âYouâre very important! For me, with you around, I can live. Without you, I cannot.â
Caroline shuddered as she looked into Kirkâs eyes.
His eyes were as deep as the ocean. Caroline couldnât find a trace of doubt in them.
âAm I really that Important?â
Kirk tightened his hold around Caroline, his body trembling.
His voice was light as he said, âYes, very important. Thatâs why you canât leave me, no matter what happens. Alright?â
Carolineâs face was buried in Kirkâs chest. She could feel his muscled body through his clothes. She could also hear his rapidly beating heart.
Caroline hugged him back with all her strength. âYou too!â
After a moment, she pushed Kirk away. âAlright, what are we eating now? Donât ask me to choose.â
Kirk smiled dotingly at her. âBut you can recommend something, canât you?â
Caroline looked around. âHow about mac and cheese?â
A shop opposite them sold mac and cheese. There were a number of people inside, so the food must be good.
Kirk didnât have any objections, so they both went inside.
The shop mostly dealt with takeaways, so there were lots of empty seats.
Caroline found a table, and they both sat down.
After they had ordered, Caroline got a call from Gwen.
*Carol, Carol, congratulations!â Gwen had only just gotten off work. Sheâd just checked her phone and found Carolineâs message. Gwen had immediately called Caroline to congratulate her.
Caroline smiled. âJust got off work?â
âYep.â Gwen huffed out a laugh.
âOh, Carol, you managed to convince an expert to change his mind. You even got such a huge achievement. Shouldnât you do something to show your gratitude?â
âWhy donât I pay for our trip then?â Caroline said.
âThat wouldnât be too good, right?â Gwen politely tried to reject her.
âWait, no!â Gwen cried out.

âThereâs a new aquatic center in the cityâs new development area, did you know? Why donât we go there? We can look at hot guys, too.â
Caroline eyed Kirk, but she didnât want to reject Gwen. âForget it then. I donât want to go swimming.â
âThen we can go fishing âLetâs stay away from the water.â
When he heard the word âwater,â Kirk raised his head to look at Caroline.
Coincidentally, Caroline looked over at him too. Their eyes met, and something sparked within them.
âBut didnât you always love to swim, Carol? Gwen was confused.
But since Caroline would be paying for their trip, she could only say, âWhy donât you choose then?â
Caroline was just about to answer when Kirk brushed his finger across her red lips.
Caroline flushed with shyness.
âLetâs go pick cherries then.â
Kirk smiled roguishly.
He said into Carolineâs ear, his breath warm, âWhy do you have to pick cherries to eat them?â
