The next morning, Chloe wouldn't stop apologizing."Lena, I'm so sorry."She stood in front of her with a guilty expression."I should never have left you alone."Lena sighed."Chloe, it's okay.""No, it's not."Chloe crossed her arms."I left for one minute,and everything went wrong."Before Lena could respond, Chloe pointed toward the couch."You're not doing anything today.""What?""I'm making breakfast."Lena laughed."You don't have to.""I do."Chloe immediately turned and marched back into the kitchen.Lena shook her head and settled onto the couch.A movie was playing on the television while the smell of breakfast slowly filled the apartment.The doorbell rang."Yeah! I'm coming!"Lena started getting up."Hold up!"Chloe rushed out from the kitchen."I'll get it.""But your—""No worries."She pointed at Lena."Just sit your ass down for today."Lena chuckled."Fine."A minute passedCurious, Lena stood up and walked toward the entrance."Chloe, who's there?"Chloe folded he

That night, Lena couldn't sleep.She tossed and turned on her bed while Chloe snored softly from the next room.After several failed attempts at forcing herself to sleep, she sat upright.Her gaze landed on the package resting on her desk.The mysterious package.Curiosity instantly got the better of her."Fine."She climbed out of bed and carried the box to the couch."Let's see what all the fuss is about."Carefully, she opened it.The moment she lifted the lid, her eyes widened.Inside was a box of chocolates.A beautiful golden jewelry set.And a shiny preserved rose.Lena couldn't stop the smile that spread across her face.The gesture was thoughtful.Her attention shifted to the envelope she had ignored earlier.She picked it up and unfolded the letter.From Your Admirer to My Princess.Lena smiled.Then continued reading."I know we haven't been talking much lately.""That's my fault, and I take full responsibility for it.""I should have called more.""Or texted more.""My sch

The next morning, Lena woke up to the smell of food. She remained in bed, wondering where the smell was coming from. Then she remembered Ethan had spent the night. A smile appeared on her face. She climbed out of bed, fixed her messy hair, and followed the smell into the kitchen. The sight that greeted her immediately made her laugh. Ethan was standing in front of the stove wearing an apron while flipping pancakes. Lena folded her arms and leaned against the doorway. "I didn't know you could cook." Ethan turned around.
