Before leaving work, John Brown and Lucy Campbell left the company first. They went to the supermarket, where Lucy, with an excited face, held onto John's arm. John pushed the shopping cart and discussed what to eat for dinner with her. To anyone watching, they would look like a young couple.
Previously, when John and Lucy were together, they were very cautious. But now, there was no awkwardness between them, and they walked naturally.
Being a smart person, Lucy was well aware of where her relationship with John had progressed. John didn't know about her feelings for him, but neither of them pointed it out. They just pretended not to know.
Shopping like a little couple made Lucy feel great. It felt like a real life, where a couple would come home from work, buy some groceries, chat, cook together, and then express their love. If she could live such a life with John, it would truly be perfect.
