He smiled and I got lost when I saw his dimple. “I brought you food. Father should take care of their daughters, right?”
Napapikit ako sa kahihiyan. “I’m so sorry I said that. I… I’m not teasing you or anything—”
“Arynn, that’s alright. I’m not expecting anything from you. I’mjust looking after you as a colleague. Nothing more.”

“Thank you for bringing this for me.”
He laughed. “Marami ito. Bakit mo nasabi na sa iyo lang lahat iyan?”
“Meron ka rito?”
“Oo. Sabi nila, mas masarap daw ang pagkain kapag may kasabay.”
“Paano mo naman nalaman iyan, single ka.”
“Ouch.”
Natawa nalang ako at nagsimula na kami na kumain. Nasa pantry kami at magkaharap na inuubos ang binili niton
