Enchanted Nightfall: Falling for Destiny

Alexander pulled out a bar of chocolate from his pocket, "I remember you said you wanted this brand of chocolate so badly when it was snowing before. When I saw it today, I thought of you." Feeling a bitter taste filling her heart, Quintessa said, "No need, I don't crave that anymore."

Mrs. York stopped there, looking surprised, "Oh, Alex! You're here too? Sorry, I was so rushed that I didn't see you. Ty's been waiting for us to have lunch. You wanna join?"

Alexander glanced at Quintessa, feeling a sense of loss, "No, thanks. I've got to go shopping with Serena."
