Did I……

Naomi was caught offguard. She hadn't expected to actually go on a breakfast date. She was genuinely shocked.

"Wow, my love, this is so romantic," she said, her voice filled with excitement.

Zylan glanced over at her, his lips twitching into a small smile, though it was fleeting. He was pleased by her reaction, but something in his eyes held a trace of caution, something Naomi couldn't quite place. Still, she couldn't help but feel a rush of warmth at the simple, thoughtful gesture.

In that moment, she made a decision. From now on, she'd start calling him "love." It felt right, natural even.

"Love" she spoke softly

Zylan turned rigid, his eyes widening slightly as he glanced at her. Naomi, noticing the shift in his demeanor, felt a flutter of nervousness. But, ever the playful one, she leaned in closer, hoping to ease the tension.

"Is there a problem, love?" she asked teasingly, her voice light and filled with a challenge.
