"I brought a selfie stick," Camila announced, pulling it out of her bag and setting up her phone. She adjusted the angle, ready to snap a picture. "Ready? Three..."
Suddenly, she turned her head and quickly planted a kiss on Connor's cheek, then turned back and pressed the capture button. It all happened so fast that Connor didn't have time to react.
When the photo appeared on the screen, Connor finally snapped back to reality. He saw himself with a look of surprise, while Camila grinned like a fox who had just pulled a fast one. "Sneak attack!" Connor said, but he couldn't help smiling.
Camila proudly showed off her phone. "This is our first photo together; no way we're deleting it!"Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Connor watched Camila's triumphant expression and couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and gently pinched her cheek.
Camila laughed even more, leaning on his shoulder, looking at the photo of them with a light smile playing on her lips. Her smile was like a gentle spring breeze, warm and tranquil, making him feel joyful too. Connor gazed at her, his eyes full of affection. He loved seeing Camila smile; her laughter washed away all his fatigue and worries, filling him with immense happiness.
Suddenly, Camila pointed to a nearby snack bar. "That place has amazing almond cookies and pulled pork sliders. Let's give it a try."
Connor smiled and nodded, taking her hand as they walked toward the snack bar. The place was bustling with people, and the aroma was tantalizing. They approached the counter, dazzled by the array of snacks.
Camila picked up an almond cookie,
took a bite, and the sweet flavor immediately burst in her mouth. Her eyes lit up, and she looked at Connor with surprise. "Wow, this is really good!"
"Try it," she said, holding up the partially eaten cookie to Connor's mouth. Connor leaned down and took a bite.
"It really is delicious," he agreed, nodding.
"Right?" Camila's eyes sparkled as she finished off the rest of the cookie and spoke to the owner. "Sir, I'll take ten boxes, and make it a deal."
"No problem, absolutely a deal. Here in Fernwood Valley, our almond cookies are number one. You'll definitely be back for more," the owner assured them.
After paying, Connor carried the heavy bags out of the snack bar. "All this, can we finish it?" he asked.
Camila counted on her fingers, "One for your family, one for mine, Erica, David, Young-two boxes each. I think we bought too little."
Connor looked at her serious expression and couldn't help but laugh. He gently teased her nose, saying indulgently, "Fernwood Valley isn't far, I can bring you here anytime."
Camila's smile grew even brighter, her eyes curving into crescents. She knew that whatever she desired, Connor would make it happen.
Passing by a pulled pork shop,
Camila enjoyed the treats immensely and bought plenty Along the way, they walked and
nibbled, from street corners,
alleyways, sampling various snacks and local delights of Fernwood Valley.
As the sunset faded and night enveloped the city, they walked hand in hand back to the hotel, their faces still brimming with satisfaction and happiness. Upon entering the room, Camila collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted from the day's adventures.
