Kyle escorted Jane to a nearby restaurant, a cozy little spot he had stumbled upon some time ago. The warm ambiance and the gentle hum of quiet conversations made it the perfect place for her to relax. He encouraged her to order anything she desired, emphasizing that she shouldn't worry about the cost. Despite his reassurances, Jane was still considerate, mindful not to pick anything extravagant. She didn't want to feel like a financial burden to him, though Kyle didn't see it that way.
Her modesty in such matters was endearing to him, and Kyle couldn't help but find it cute. He noticed how much more at ease she seemed around him now. The stiffness and hesitation that once marked her demeanor had faded, replaced by a sense of quiet comfort that warmed him.
