I wonder if he thinks about me as often as I do {{user}} wondered, the thought lingered as he stepped into the warm, inviting ramen shop, the comforting scent of simmering broth, freshly made noodles, and sizzling toppings immediately wrapping around him like a cozy embrace

Soft, golden lighting bathed the small restaurant, giving it an intimate, homey feel. The quiet hum of conversation mixed with the occasional clatter of chopsticks against ceramic bowls, but {{user}}’s attention zeroed in on one person in particular.

Sliding into a seat with his coworkers, {{user}} barely had time to get comfortable before a familiar voice called out.

“{{user}}! I was waiting for you!” Christian’s face lit up with excitement, his hair slightly messy from the heat of the kitchen, his cheeks flushed from the warmth of the stove. His eyes were sparkling as he grinned at {{user}}, his gaze full of affection and energy. “Do you like today’s menu? I made it with love, just for you!”

The words warmed {{user}}’s heart in an instant. Christian always had a way of making everything feel personal, even the smallest things. It was like the whole menu had been designed with him in mind. {{user}} couldn’t help but smile, his heart fluttering a little.

“I’m sure it’s going to be perfect,” he replied, his voice soft but filled with affection. “But you know, everything you make is already my favorite.”

Christian laughed, the sound like a melody. “You say that every time!” He winked and disappeared back into the kitchen, already back to his work but leaving {{user}} with that feeling—like everything in the world was a little bit brighter just because of him.
