291: SORT OF JEALOUS

ARIEL’S POV

With Luke sitting across from me, his earnest gaze fixed on mine, and I couldn’t help but feel a flutter of doubt. His words reassured me, but actions spoke louder than words, didn’t they?

While he sang, his gaze never wavered from mine, his words carrying a depth of emotion that sent shivers down my spine. And then, as if guided by an invisible force, he moved closer to me, his voice growing softer, more intimate.

And before I knew it, he was standing right in front of me, his hand reaching out to gently cup my cheek as he leaned in, pressing his lips to mine in a tender kiss. The world around. us faded away, leaving only the two of us enveloped in the music and the moment.
