#182 “Stay back!”

Sophia had led Alexander to her grandfather’s office, a place filled with memories and secrets. They sat on the floor, surrounded by stacks of documents that detailed their family’s tangled history. Alexander had pulled Sophia into his lap, unable to resist the magnetic pull of her presence. Despite the seriousness of their situation, he found himself lost in the warmth of her embrace.

As Sophia explained the significance of the documents, Alexander’s mind drifted, consumed by thoughts of Sophia and the intoxicating scent of her perfume. He knew he should be paying attention, that their discovery could have far-reaching consequences, but at that moment, all he could think about was her.

“Alexander, this is important,” Sophia chided gently, though a smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

“Did I tell you that when you concentrate you wrinkle your nose? It’s awfully sweet,” he teased, his eyes sparkling with affection.

“If I kiss you, will you promise to concentrate too?” she asked playfully, her lips curving into a mischievous smile.
