( The next day, real world, Arc Ship )
The next day as Leo returned back to his apartment for a dreaded mental meditation session after doing his morning inspection rounds, he was surprised to see Amanda sitting outside the entrance to his apartment waiting for him.
"Hey babe–" Amanda said sweetly when she saw him, as for a moment, Leo's heart skipped a beat when he saw her smile.
"Hey ba…. Amanda" Leo said, as although he wanted to say 'babe', the inner man inside him would not let him say something so cringe when in public.
"Pfft…" Amanda burst out laughing when she saw how blushed Leo was only from her calling him babe, as she was reminded why she loved him so much in the first place.
