Elena let out a soft laugh, her fingers tracing the edge of the flower petals as she looked at Victor. "Well, I never wanted a playboy or a ladies' man for a relationship," she said with a teasing tone, though her eyes held something deeper.
Victor leaned back in his chair, still smiling like her words didn't bother him.
"That day at the basketball court… it was also when I met Chloe," Elena said, her voice growing thoughtful. "There was a loud noise outside, and that's what pulled me out—not your so-called scary stare," she added, giving him a playful side glance.
Victor chuckled, clearly interested in where she was going.
