"Alright then..."
Ella Lacey swallowed the words that were hanging off her lips.
Nibbling on the crimson wild berry that Arthur Lindsey had brought up to her lips.
"It's quite sweet." Ella Lacey was enthusiastically chewing, savoring it like a date, "it's like eating a pear, crispy, a balanced mix of sour and sweet."
"Do you like it?" Seeing her happiness, Arthur Lindsey felt a wave of relief.
"Of course I do."
Ella Lacey picked up a berry and fed it to Arthur Lindsey, "Arthur, you should eat too, don't just watch me."
Arthur gave a mischievous smile, its warmth melting into her heart. As he opened his lips, ready to lightly nip the berry from her hand—
Ella swooped in, her lips nipped onto the other half of the berry just as Arthur's mouth opened, their eyes met, lips touching each other.
Each held half a berry in their mouths.
Ella cheekily winked at him as if to say, "Arthur, hurry up and eat. Once you finish the berry, eat me, whimpering…"
