A Beautiful Misunderstanding

'Little pineapple?' Essie thought to herself. Who was this guy?

"You are...?" she spoke awkwardly at last.

"Big coconut! The big coconut from Maldives!" Walt said.

Essie's eyes widened and her mouth fell open as she suddenly recalled who he was. When she was a freshman, Essie had gone to Maldives to look for Hanson, but he was in Europe. She never ended up meeting him but stayed there alone for a couple of days. One of those days, she had met a handsome man on the beach. On a whim, she had made a painting of him, looking at him from a distance. Unexpectedly, he had found out. This was how they'd first met. Essie hung out with him for that night and the entirety of the next day. Because she was alone and didn't know him well, she never told him her name. She just asked him to call her 'little pineapple'. And he asked her to call him 'big coconut'.

"Oh my god! I didn't expect to meet you here, big coconut!" She smiled wholeheartedly.

"Me neither! I haven't seen you for so many years! You must be a graduate now!" Walt asked with a broad smile.

She nodded. "And what about you? Have you come to Dragon City for travel or work?"

"I'm from Dragon City..." Walt shrugged, speaking matter-of-factly.

By that time, Eva and Vinton had come over near them.

"Wow Walt! You know this beauty?" Vinton narrowed his eyes and smiled, staring at Essie's glistening face.
