Serena chuckled softly, "I'm not staying to spite Aaron. I've realized something."

Seeing Serena's relaxed expression, Samuel smiled, "Alright, as long as you're happy."

Serena smiled back and was soon captivated by the antiques displayed in the side gallery.

Samuel watched her, a slight smile curling his lips.
