The other candidates couldn't help but notice Misty's sweetness with the man beside her. They whispered among themselves in the corner, their voices tinged with envy as their eyes followed the couple.
"That guy looks familiar," one of the candidates mumbled, squinting her eyes.
"I know him!" another suddenly exclaimed, her face lighting with recognition. "He won that contest on TV! Don't you remember?"
They all leaned forward, watching more closely. The man seemed completely absorbed in Misty, caressing her hand gently, whispering to her as if they were the only two people in the room.
"Oh yeah, that's him," a third girl nodded. "He's always joining those contests on TV. He even won a couple, didn't he?"
"Misty is very lucky," one girl sighed, jealousy dripping from her tone.
"You mean… he's her boyfriend?" another asked, her voice low, almost hoping it wasn't true.
