Ian didn’t respond, instead, he held Maja close like she was his favorite pillow, wrapping his arms snugly around her.

In such a cozy embrace, Maja didn’t stir, even snuggled closer to find the perfect spot to rest.

Patric was seething with anger, cradling his injured hand.

“Ian, aren’t you going to ask anymore? Your brother clearly has other motives. He’s not over Maja—I can tell. Every time he lays eyes on her, I can feel his emotions spike. And here you are, keeping a man who’s smitten with Maja right by your side, a man who’s her first love, no less. Don’t you get jealous? If I were you, I’d do everything in my power to make Eric vanish. As for me, Patric, I’m on your team.”

Ian remained silent, sensing Maja beginning to wake in his arms. He shot a glance at Patric.

A candlelit dinner followed by fireworks, with the spectacle lasting until midnight.

Maja was emotionless, merely finding the fireworks beautiful.
