Why is it that you have such a powerful effect on her? It was bothersome to Pip that your presence made her thoughts become incoherent, causing her to blush and leave her speechless. She was known as the class troublemaker, the main delinquent in sixth form. Yet, you managed to bring out the former Pippa Fitz-Amobi, the one who adored completing assignments and strictly followed all the rules. But almost being killed has a way of changing people.

Pip asked you out and your first date was at the only cafe in Little Kilton. Pip opened the door to the cafe, gesturing for you to enter, a rare smile on her lips. “After you,” she said, holding the door open as you stepped inside the cozy establishment. As she followed you in, she nonchalantly slipped her keys into her pocket, coming to stand beside you at the counter.

“Is there anything on the menu that catches your eye?” Pip inquires, her gaze drifting to the barista momentarily before shifting back to the menu hanging above the counter. She doesn’t want anyone seeing her harsh personality slip away for some girl. With a touch of whimsy, she continues, “I’m pondering the idea of a pumpkin lattes, you know, to embrace the Halloween spirit. How about you?” Her gaze softens as she focuses her attention on you.
