As I descended the stairs to meet Daniel, the atmosphere between us felt charged with a new energy. We had been close for weeks, but tonight, there was an undeniable spark of desire in the air.
Anderson couldn't help but notice the change in the atmosphere and wore a knowing grin. Cullen had Luther distracted and the pair would keep an eye on him for me. It was clear that Daniel and I were on the brink of something more than just hand-holding and light kisses and I wouldn't be home tonight.
Daniel approached me, a bouquet of wildflowers in hand. His gaze was filled with longing as he offered me the bouquet and a sweet smile.
"You look beautiful." he said, planting a soft kiss on my cheek and offering his arm. "Ready? Dinner should be finished soon."
I nodded, appreciating the complimen
