“I… I’m on a diet. I never eat this late at night!” Hannah insisted, only to let out a sudden sneeze right after she finished speaking. She sniffled and sneezed again a second later.

“That’s what you get for lying,” Harry teased gently, reaching out to hand her a tissue. “You posted a photo of a late–night snack on your social media just three days ago.”

Hannah’s cheeks warmed up instantly–this guy had been scrolling through her social media posts!

She really should have set her account to private so only people she was friends with could see her stuff.

“Three meals a day, that’s it!” Hannah didn’t bother arguing with him anymore. She crumpled up the used tissue in her hand and started negotiating instead.

“Get in the car.”

Harry agreed without the slightest hesitation. He turned the key in the ignition, and the car doors unlocked with a soft click.

Hannah hesitated for a moment, tugging at her cardigan self–consciously one more time before she finally climbed into the passenger seat.

During the drive, Harry was surprisingly talkative. He chatted casually with Hannah, offered her a bottle of water, turned on the heater to warm up the car, and asked how she had been doing lately.

مه

But Hannah wasn’t in the mood to converse. She spent the entire ride staring out the window, giving only short, distracted replies to his questions.

Harry didn’t seem bothered by her distant attitude at all.

The car pulled up outside a late–night barbecue joint that was clearly a local favorite.

The place was so popular that even in the middle of the night, there was still a line of people waiting outside to get in.

Harry had already reserved a table in advance. They were shown to a small booth by the window, furnished in a warm, classic style that Hannah had always loved.

Hannah didn’t even glance at the menu, so Harry naturally took the lead and ordered for both of them.

When the food arrived, every single dish was prepared exactly the way Hannah liked it. He then poured her a small glass of sweet fruit wine.

Just as Harry was pouring the drink, Hannah caught sight of a familiar tattoo peeking out from his forearm.

Without thinking, she reached out and grabbed his hand, pushing his sleeve up to fully expose the tattoo.

It was a strange, vivid purple butterfly.

“Why do you have…”

Hannah never got to finish her sentence. Harry quickly pulled his hand away from her grasp.

A heavy, awkward silence fell between the two of them right away.

Hannah stared straight at Harry, a messy storm of emotions churning inside her chest.

But Harry avoided her gaze, looking down and fidgeting with the cutlery on the table for a moment before he spoke.

“The food here… it reminds me of that old barbecue spot you used to love when we were in college.

“I found this place not too long ago, and I kept thinking I should bring you here if we ever met again.

“Never thought we’d actually run into each other back in our hometown–what are the chances?”

Hannah’s lips trembled slightly. In the end, she took a small sip of water, turned her gaze back to the window, and didn’t respond at all.

Outside, the night streets were glowing with bright neon signs. The bustling crowd, framed by the colorful lights, always looked just like a scene from a painting she had seen somewhere before.

They had been classmates back in college.

Starting from their freshman year, Hannah would always drag Harry out to grab late–night bites together.

She loved barbecue and was constantly trying new places. To find a good one, she would drive three hours late at night.

Back then, Harry was just an ordinary student–broke and not particularly charming.

Someone as dazzling and goddess–like as Hannah showing interest in him… he hadn’t dared to believe it. He had even taken on three part–time jobs just so he could afford to treat her when they went out.

But when Hannah found out Harry was working so much he had no time to hang out with her, she immediately made him quit. She even offered him a monthly salary of thirty thousand dollars to be her personal driver.

Even his roommates were envious and teased him, saying Harry had hit the jackpot.

But things didn’t go the way Harry had expected.

Hannah would often treat him to meals, buy him clothes, and get him gifts he liked.

She was incredibly good to him, thoughtful in every way, and looked for him every day.

But she never dated him.

At a class gathering, she even publicly denied being in a relationship with Harry.

That day, Harry had been drinking. Surrounded by their peers, he had confessed to Hannah on the spot, laying everything out in the open.

People always said girls shouldn’t be too forward–since Hannah had gone this far, he should gather his courage,

But what Harry hadn’t expected was that after that confession, they became like strangers.

The late–night meal was completely dull and awkward.

Hannah didn’t speak to Harry the whole time, and Harry just silently put food in her plate.
