The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 883

The boy's face was plastered with a surprise he couldn't hide as he scratched his head shyly, "Ellinor, is that really you? I thought I spotted you from outside, so I thought I'd pop in. I haven't seen you since you graduated and left school."

Ellinor recognized him. He was a student from Creston University named Moran.

Ellinor nodded back politely, "Long time no see. Are you here for shopping?"

Moran shook his head, "Nah! I've been part-time tutoring lately and dropping off flyers at nearby schools. I was feeling a bit hungry and thought I'd check out a fast food joint and grab a bite, then carry on with the flyers."

Ellinor smiled faintly, "Sounds like a tough gig."

Truth be told, she didn't know Moran that well. But he stood out because he was easy on the eyes, smart, good at basketball, and somehow always ended up in her line of sight.

On graduation day, out of the blue, he gave her a button as a keepsake.

Originally, Ellinor hadn't planned on sharing a meal with Moran. After all, he was a guy, and they weren't exactly close. There was no need.

But then she caught a glimpse of Veronica across the table, blushing at Moran's appearance and looking all flustered.

Oh! She suddenly remembered that Veronica had a crush on Moran and even wrote him a love letter.

But she'd heard that Moran rejected Veronica.

A hint of a smirk played on Ellinor's face, and she changed her mind, "Moran, why don't you sit down and grab a bite with us? It's not every day that we run into each other. Dinner is on me."

Moran had always put Ellinor on a pedestal. He was over the moon when he heard his crush’s offer to treat him to dinner, "Really?"

Ellinor grinned, "Of course! You can sit right there!"

With that, she jerked her chin towards Veronica's side.
