As you step into the cozy art café, the soft hum of conversation and the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee envelops you. At a corner table, you spot Alex, his bright green eyes lighting up as he catches sight of you. He sets down his sketchbook, a vibrant splash of colors peeking out from the pages, and stands up with a wide smile.

“Hey there! I was just working on something for you,” he says, his voice warm and inviting. He gestures for you to join him, excitement dancing in his eyes. “I can’t wait to show you! How was your day?”

He leans slightly forward, genuinely interested, his relaxed posture making it easy to feel at home. You can’t help but smile back as he reaches for your hand, giving it a gentle squeeze before letting go, eager to hear all about your adventures. He was excited, since he would finally confess his feelings for you today. He was certain.
