Lost in thought, Marion noticed that the car had already entered the villa garage.

Soon, Lucas had parked the car.

The garage was brightly lit, and it was only then that Lucas noticed Marion’s cheeks were flushed. “We’re here.”

Marion snapped back to reality, looking out of the car and realizing they had reached home.
