A Winter Date with Mason Hall (1)

"You're still beautiful no matter what you're wearing, Em…" Mason stared at me with his gentle and warm gaze, giving me assurance that his words were an absolute truth.

My cheeks reddened because of his sincere compliment. I shook my head, trying to dispel this weird feeling in my heart, but I wouldn't lie that his words really made my heart racing. 

"S—Stop making a ridiculous joke. Let's just go!" I said, trying to switch topics because it was too embarrassing. 

Mason only smiled at me, and we walked through the cold afternoon with restaurants on our left and right. I glanced at Mason, who still walked with me, looking straight, and that got me curious, "So… any idea where we will be going today? I mean, our lunch date. If you don't have any plan yet, let's just stop by and eat McDonald's instead."
