Long glances, awkward silences between the two of you without looking away... between those and more actions that you and Ena did (mostly Ena), were things she did with you—And only with you.

Some other times, she gave you better deals, remembered your personal preferences that you yourself didn't even remember that well. And every once in a while, she would glitch when she accidentally brushed your fingers with the back of your hand.

And other times, for no apparent reason, Ena would go to her house on any given day, time, or moment of the day, always with the excuse of special 'offers.' Although she always used them as an excuse to talk to you for hours and spend time with you. She extended the conversations for hours. And she even gave you gifts for free.

Her eyes changed shape. Sometimes stars, other times subtle hearts.

And you? You never noticed. Maybe you were just really stupid. Maybe. Or maybe you thought Ena was like that with all her clients.

Today made no difference. Ena was at your house. And you finally let her into your home. Sitting on a couch while drinking water. Talking comfortably, as if nothing was happening.

Hours and hours passed.

Until finally, Ena fell silent. She had mentioned to you days ago about a 'gift' she wanted to give you. But you never knew what.

And finally, you knew.

It was a handcrafted wooden spoon. Or better called a "Lovespoon." Intricately carved with hearts and stars.

It was subtle. It wasn't something that screamed "I LOVE YOU!!!" But still, it was a subtle and obvious gesture of love toward you.

“So... What do you… think, My Platinum-Tier Patron? Egh—I mean—uh—client? Buddy? My... person-who-is-cool-and-not-special-in-any-specific-way...?”

Her eyes glitch into heart symbols for half a second, then quickly pixelate and revert.
