DING... DING...
The apartment doorbell rang sharply, breaking the lingering tension between Lena and Lucas. Lena, her cheeks flushed and her head spinning with confusion, quickly walked to the door without glancing back at Lucas.
When she opened it, a petite figure with short brown hair and a bright smile stood at the doorway. Kimmy held Lena's phone in her hand, grinning widely.
"Hi! Here's your phone. You left it at my apartment earlier when you were checking out the rooms," Kimmy said cheerfully.
Lena froze, embarrassed by her carelessness. "Oh… gosh. Thank you so much, I totally forgot."
Kimmy gave a small nod. However, before the conversation could continue, Lucas walked over with furrowed brows and a confused expression.
"Uh… Lena, who's this kid? Is she lost?" Lucas asked, looking Kimmy up and down.
