Bunny Apples

Caught red-eyed—Alicia snapped upright, a flush rushing to her cheeks like wildfire. She bit down on the smile tugging at her lips. "You've got a third eye or something, Mr. Chameleon?"

Adrien finally turned, one brow raised, smirk etched deep in his features—dark, amused, and far too knowing. "So rude…" he murmured, voice sinfully smooth as he walked over with a plate in one hand. But instead of sitting, he moved around behind her again, his movements quiet but commanding.

When he returned, he had a sleek crystal bottle tucked under his arm and a silver bowl filled with whole, gleaming apples—red and white, fresh and chilled like they'd been plucked straight from a winter orchard.

Only then did he settle into the seat beside her—close enough that she could feel the heat of him. He placed the bottle and the apples on the table, then picked up the slices of warm bread he'd just toasted.
