Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

Sam said, "Well, you don't have to smoke. I'll make you a cup of coffee. Afterwards, Ms. Emmeline and Mr. Abel's coffee will be done as well."

"Alright, then I won't smoke," Luca said and obediently sat down on a chair.

Sam went back behind the counter and started making coffee for Luca.

From time to time, her beautiful eyes would sneak a peek at Luca.

"Ouch!" Sam exclaimed as she knocked over a glass of water while she was distracted.

The water spilled on top of her hand.

The water's temperature was around seventy to eighty degrees, causing Sam's hand to turn red almost immediately.

Luca shot up from his seat and asked, "What's wrong, Sam?"

Sam grabbed onto her hand, tears welling in her eyes as she said, "I burned my hand accidentally. It hurts."

"Let me see!" Luca placed his hand on the countertop and leapt over it.

He held Sam's hand up.

The back of her hand was completely red.

Luca frowned, "How could you be so careless? Go to the washroom and rinse it under cold water."

He took Sam over to the washroom and turned the faucet on, then ran her scalded hand under cold water.

As Sam felt the cold running water on her injured hand, her pain was immediately relieved.

She softly sighed.

After rinsing it in cold water for a few minutes, a lot of the redness receded and it was also not as painful anymore.

Luca asked, "Do you have any ointment that's good for burns? I think it's best if you rub some on."

Sam shook her head, "I don't think we do, and I don't think I'm in a condition to go looking for one either."

"Alright, then I'll go buy one. Sit tight. I'll be back soon," Luca said.

Sam nodded meekly, "Thanks, Luca."

Luca said, "You don't have to thank me. I think you should close shop for today. I'll help you lock up on my way out."

Sam agreed, "Yeah, sounds good."

Luca took his car keys and pushed open the glass door as he left the cafe.

He then locked the door behind him with a large padlock.

He proceeded across the street and into the parking lot, then drove off in search of a burn ointment.

After driving a couple streets down, he found a giant pharmacy and purchased a burn ointment.

Just as he was about to get back to his car and drive back to Nightfall Cafe, he noticed that the florist next to the pharmacy was open.

There was a 30% discount on flowers running, which was a very attractive offer.

Luca halted in his steps as he contemplated if he should buy some flowers back for Sam.

But what would he even say if he had bought them?

Just as Luca was racking his brains out, one of the salespeople by the door called out to him.

"Hey handsome, fancy buying a rose for your girlfriend? Our flowers are big and colorful. Not to mention, we have a 30% discount right now. I guarantee you'll impress your girlfriend if you buy one back for her!"

Luca stuttered, "I-I don't have a girlfriend yet."

The salesperson said, "Well you'll get one after you buy her flowers. When you saw the flowers, you already know deep down who you would be buying them for. That first person that came to your mind will be your girlfriend."
