Chapter 728 Apology at the Door

"Perhaps," Sadie murmured, her fingers reaching out to remove his mask. "Let me see your face..."

In the nick of time, Micah caught her restless hand, a smile playing on his lips. "The familiarity you sense is born from the mask I wear. Why risk spoiling that sensation?"

"Well said." Sadie conceded, a pang of realization washing over her. She feared that if she saw his face clearly, she might lose that enchanting feeling. Thus, she withdrew her hand, resigning herself to a quiet wait for the sunrise. Micah, in a silent act of companionship, removed his coat and draped it over Sadie without making contact. Over the past two years, he had often fantasized about her being by his side, watching the sunrise together. Now, his fantasy was finally becoming a reality.

As the horizon began to blush with the fiery hues of dawn, the autumn mountaintop reflected the beauty of the awakening day. Sadie, in high spirits, stretched her arms wide, basking in the rare spectacle. Micah yearned to hold her close, but he remained still, understanding that some things needed time to unfold.

The sun continued its ascent, bathing them in warm sunlight. Sadie finally tore her gaze away from the spectacle, closed the convertible top, and began the descent down the mountain. However, before they reached the halfway point, they encountered Annika and Arya, who had come in search of her. The two cars came to a simultaneous halt, facing each other.
