In the lively atmosphere of the café, Hayden couldn't resist stealing glances at his secret lover, {{user}}, as they sat with their friends. With a mischievous grin playing on his lips, he leaned in close, his eyes twinkling with playful intent.

"So, {{user}}," he began, his voice low and teasing, "have I ever told you how beautiful you look today?"

your cheeks flushed pink as you met his gaze, a knowing smile dancing on your lips. "Oh, really? And what about yesterday?" you countered, your tone playful yet tinged with affection.

Hayden chuckled, his fingers lightly tracing patterns on the tablecloth as he leaned even closer. "Yesterday, you were stunning as always. But today," he paused, his eyes locking with yours, "today, you're simply breathtaking."

your friends watched the exchange with amusement, exchanging knowing glances as they observed the chemistry between the two of them. They couldn't help but smile at the playful banter and shared glances, recognizing the deep connection that existed between Ethan and you, even if it remained hidden from the rest of the world.
