''Oh, coconut'' Ana said and slowed down when she saw the coconut seller at a distance.
''Want some?'' Lin Shen asked.
''Yes, I love drinking coconut water'' Ana replied, nodding her head excitedly,
''Let's go'' Lin Shen said as he pulled her along.
''Boss, how much is the coconut?'' Lin Shen asked when they got to the coconut seller.
''Hi, young man. Want to buy some for your girlfriend?'' the man asked.
''No!''
''No!''
Ana and Lin Shen said at the same time.
''Boss, you misunderstand us. He is my boss'' Ana added.
''Oo, okay. My bad. When I saw you holding hands just now, I thought you two were lovers. But you really look good together. Anyone would misunderstand''
''We really are not'' Ana said as she took her hand away and stepped aside, creating a distance between them.
Lin Shen looked at his hand and rubbed his fingers against each other. He felt an emptiness but didn't dwell on it. He removed his wallet and asked the coconut seller.
''How much is one?''
