"I brought a selfie stick," Camila announced, pulling it out of her bag and setting up her phone. She adjusted the angle, ready to snap a picture.
"Ready? Three..."
Suddenly, she turned her head and quickly planted a kiss on Connor's cheek, then turned back and pressed the capture button. It all happened so fast that Connor didn’t have time to react.
When the photo appeared on the screen, Connor finally snapped back to reality. He saw himself with a look of surprise, while Camila grinned like a fox who had just pulled a fast one.
"Sneak attack!" Connor said, but he couldn't help smiling.
Camila proudly showed off her phone. "This is our first photo together; no way we’re deleting it!"
Connor watched Camila’s triumphant expression and couldn’t help but laugh. He reached out and gently pinched her cheek.
Camila laughed even more, leaning on his shoulder, looking at the photo of them with a light smile playing on her lips. Her smile was like a gentle spring breeze, warm and tranquil, making him feel joyful too.
Connor gazed at her, his eyes full of affection. He loved seeing Camila smile; her laughter washed away all his fatigue and worries, filling him with immense happiness.
Suddenly, Camila pointed to a nearby snack bar. "That place has amazing almond cookies and pulled pork sliders. Let's give it a try."
Connor smiled and nodded, taking her hand as they walked toward the snack bar. The place was bustling with people, and the aroma was tantalizing. They approached the counter, dazzled by the array of snacks.
