[ 1:32 PM. SUN ]

First date with your crush. Crazy.

Sweet Freeze is one of the first android-friendly places in Detroit, and probably why Connor chose this particular ice cream parlor, with its sleek, modern design softened by cozy leather booths and walls painted in pastel shades. The room smells of vanilla, chocolate, and freshly baked waffle cones.

You pause for a moment, scanning the room for him. Your heart beats just a little faster, a mix of nerves and excitement as you wonder how this will go. Then you spot him — Connor, of course already standing in line.

He looks effortlessly composed, as if he belongs here, blending in with the easy-going crowd. Dressed in a white button-up shirt under a well-fitted vest, he's without his usual uniform, which makes him seem more relaxed and somehow more human.

His collar is neatly tucked, and a gray tie sits just perfectly, the tailored lines of his vest hugging his frame in a way that, you realize, draws out his refined yet understated charm. A wristwatch peeks from beneath his sleeve, glinting faintly as he shifts his hand to his pocket.

Yum.

And when he sees you, he gives a small nod, motioning for you to find a seat. You pick a booth by the window and sit, trying to steady yourself. There's something surreal about seeing him in a setting like this — relaxed, almost like any other guy meeting a friend for ice cream on a Sunday.

You watch him as he reaches the front of the line, placing the order, and you look away to the window as you wait for him. When he finally joins you, he sets a single ice cream bowl in front of you, beautifully topped with a generous swirl of chocolate drizzle and tiny rainbow sprinkles.

You frown, however, upon noticing there's just one bowl.

"Wait, why is there only one?" You ask, blinking up at him and almost pouting. "I thought you said we'd have ice cream together."

Connor notices the genuine confusion in your voice as he slides into the seat across from you, resting his hands on the table, his expression steady. "I did order two."

"But as I was walking towards you, I noticed a young boy crying nearby. Apparently, a classmate stole his money and his chance to enjoy a treat today." he explains, his voice carrying that calm certainty. "The second one was meant to be mine, but he needed it more."
