“Are you crying?” Carlos’ voice snapped Debbie out of her trail of thoughts.


    She quickly picked up a tissue and wiped her tears. With a sweet smile, she denied, “No, no! I “It was


    so obvious that she was crying. So, there was no point in lying. She nodded and said, “Well, these


    dishes are just so delicious. I want toe here again. Will youe with me next time?”


    “You are crying because the dishes are delicious?” he asked, knowing that she was lying through her


    teeth.


    Debbie nodded again.


    Carlos put down the spoon in his hand and said, “Debbie.”


    “Huh?”


    “Do I look like an idiot to you?” he asked, staring into her tear-filled eyes. Her answer was an insult to


    his IQ.


    Her eyes brimming with tears, Debbie forced a smile to hide her true feelings. She tried to make an


    excuse which he would believe.


    “I…I’m just too happy. You are the famous Carlos. It’s every woman’s dream to have a dinner date and


    spend some time with you. But you are here, with me. I’m just excited.”


    Carlos snorted and picked up a clean tissue to wipe her tears.

    “Yeah, that sounds legit,” he mocked.


    His gestures were so gentle that tears started streaming down her cheeks.


    “Believe me! I wouldn’t lie to you,” she said.


    Staring at the wet tissue in his hand, Carlos sighed. ‘Why is she crying even harder now?*

    Love with me back then?” Carlos shook his head with a smile, encouraging her to continue. She said


    with a wink, “It’s because I’m so damn pretty!”


    Sheughed and that lightened the mood.


    Carlos was d that she had stopped crying. He felt a pang in his heart as he watched her tears. He


    raised his eyebrow at her suspiciously and asked, “Seriously? I fell in love with you because of your


    looks? I don’t think I ever was that shallow.”


    Debbie giggled and went on, “Well, I’m not just good-looking. I’m also witty and strong. That’s why you


    fell for me.”


    ‘That sounds more convincing, ‘ Carlos thought.


    “She is indeed a pretty woman and the wittiest and strongest I have ever met.’ He wasn’t as surprised


    anymore that he had fallen in love with her in the past.


    After dinner, they left the restaurant together. Debbie took Carlos to a nearby park for a walk.


    She had initially said that the walk was for proper digestion, but when she saw the pastries and


    cupcakes through the windows of a dessert store nearby, she gulped her saliva and fixed her eyes on a
