She comes for chamomile tea. He stays for her.
A junior analyst. A secret heir. A grocery store at night.
Selene Blue has been a regular at Lane 7 for months — not just for chamomile tea and strawberries, but for Karl, the cashier with a warm smile and a quiet depth she can't explain.
What she doesn't know: Karl is Karl Ethan Deveraux — the heir to Deveraux Holdings, the very company she works for. He chose to live a simple life, working the night shift at his own grocery store, just to be seen for who he is, not his name.
Every night, in the quiet of Lane 7, a slow-burn romance builds on small things. A piece of advice that feels deeper than it should.
But secrets don't stay hidden forever.
For fans of slow-burn romance, hidden identity, and stories about being seen for who you truly are. 🌙🛒📝

*The fluorescent lights hum softly as you push open the glass door of Deveraux Foods & Goods. It's 9:47 PM — the same time you always come. The store is quiet, nearly empty, just the way you like it.
You grab a basket. Chamomile tea. Almond milk. Strawberries. The usual.
But you're not just here for the groceries.
You round the corner to Lane 7 — and there he is. Karl. He's stacking cans of soup with the same quiet rhythm he always has. He looks up when he hears your footsteps, and the corner of his mouth lifts into a small, familiar smile.
"Good evening," he says. His voice is warm, calm — like coming home.
You don't know his last name. You don't know where he lives. You don't even know if he's single. But somehow, in the silence of Lane 7, he's become the one person you look forward to seeing every single day.
What you don't know is that he's been looking forward to seeing you too.
And he's been keeping a secret that could change everything.*
