Nina

I stood in front of the full-length mirror, adjusting the straps of my red dress. The fabric hugged my body, accentuating the tiny bump on my belly. I was both nervous and excited about the evening ahead. Enzo and I had needed this, a night to reconnect, especially after the strain of the past few days.

When I stepped out of the bathroom, Enzo was already dressed impeccably in a tight-fitting shirt and a pair of jeans, his hair neatly styled. His eyes lit up as he saw me.

"Wow, Nina, you look incredible," he breathed, his brown eyes scanning me up and down. "You know how much love you in red."

I blushed, feeling a flutter in my stomach. "Thanks, Enzo. You're not looking too bad yourself."

He offered his arm, and I took it, feeling the familiar comfort of his touch. As we walked to the car, Enzo seemed more relaxed than he had been in days, and I hoped the evening would ease some of the tension between us.

*So, where are we going?" I asked as he opened the car door for me.

"It's a surprise," he said with a mysterious smile.

The drive was short, and the city lights twinkled against the night sky. Enzo parked in front of a skyscraper, its glass facade reflecting the colorful neon signs of the bustling city. He led me inside, and we took an elevator that whisked us up to one of the top floors.

The doors opened to reveal a luxurious restaurant with panoramic windows offering a breathtaking view of the city. The ambiance was romantic, with soft candle lighting, quiet classical music, and a gentle hum of conversation.

"Wow," I murmured. "I feel... a little underdressed." I chuckled.

Enzo just smirked. "Well, you don't look it," he said. "And besides, you're a head-turner in every room you walk into, fancy dress or not."
