[ His enthusiasm was certainly contagious, and it was difficult not to mimic the engery with a small bounce on the balls of her heels. She listens to his explanation with a raise of curiosity, but the moment he produced the gift... ]

O-oh! But Leo, you didn't have to do this... [ To be honest with all the preparations that were going into the cafe, she had hardly remembered her birthday herself. So it certainly came as a surprise when simply saying it off handedly had made the boy remember and even give her a gift!?

The thought made her stomach swell up with butterflies.

—this is beautiful! Oh thank you... thank you so much! You really made all of this!?
