Lydia’s POV

By the time Marcus texted me the café location, I was already halfway dressed.

Your favorite café.

That alone almost made me cancel.

Because honestly, why did men always insist on adding emotional symbolism to everything?

Still, I sighed, locked my phone, and continued getting ready.

I didn’t want this meeting to feel too serious.

That was the problem.

The more serious something felt, the more complicated it became emotionally. And right now, my emotions were already overcrowded enough without adding another situation into the mess.

So instead of dressing like someone heading into a relationship defining conversation, I chose simplicity.

Well.

My version of simplicity.

I wore a long cream coat dress that cinched softly at the waist with gold buttons running down the front. Elegant. Structured. Clean. The sleeves stopped perfectly at my wrists, and the fabric moved smoothly against my skin when I walked. I paired it with nude heels and small gold earrings, then packed my hair into a low sleek bun.

Minimal makeup. 1

Glossy lips.

Soft perfume.

Effortless.

At least externally.

Internally?

God.

My brain was exhausting me.

By the time I arrived at the café, Marcus was already there waiting.

Of course he was.

Marcus was the type of man who arrived fifteen minutes early to things because apparently punctuality was part of his moral identity.

The moment he saw me walking in, he stood immediately.

And honestly?

That tiny gesture alone almost annoyed me because it reminded me how different he was from Dave.

Gentle.

Present.

He pulled the chair out for me quietly.

“Thank you,” I said as I sat down.

“You look beautiful.”

I smiled lightly. “That was smooth.”

“I practiced before you came.”

That almost made me laugh.

Almost.

A waiter approached the table, and after ordering coffee and something light neither of us would actually eat, silence settled briefly between us.

Not uncomfortable.

Just careful.

Marcus looked at me for a moment before speaking.
