Chapter 64: Midnight Encounters
(Elena’s POV)
The night was deep, the warm yellow indoor light cast a misty glow on the glass, blending with the cold tones of the street scene, as if filtered through moonlight. After a satisfying dinner, I called the server to settle the bill..
The waiter approached with the check, and I handed over my card without hesitation. Nathan had been generous with his time and company tonight, and I was determined to keep my promise about paying.

ttled, Nathan Sterling leaned back in his chair with his fingers interlaced and resting on his chin. He smiled playfully at me.
“You finally treated me back,” he remarked with obvious amusement.

Once the motorcycle had passed, Nathan asked if I was alright. His hands remained on my shoulders,
checking for any signs of injury.
I was still shaken but grateful for his quick reflexes. “I’m fine, just startled. Thank you for pulling me out of
the way.”
My voice trembled slightly from the adrenaline rush. Without Nathan’s intervention, I could have been
seriously hurt.
Nathan glanced in the direction the motorcycle had vanished, his expression darkening with disapproval.
