Jonathan felt a bubble of laughter from Ella, and without hesitation, he rose and swept her into his embrace, his broad chest providing a comforting haven for her to lean against. His deep and resonant voice rumbled close to her ear. "Ella, I really am one lucky guy."
"Mm?" Estelle looked up into his eyes.
His narrow gaze was intense as he looked back at her. "Just really lucky, that's all."
The corners of Estelle's lips curved upward. "Me too."
A feather-light sensation seemed to dance across Jonathan's heart. He leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead, then to the tip of her pert nose, each touch tender and lingering.
After Xavier left, he made his way toward the parking lot. From a distance, he could hear the familiar sound of approaching voices.
"Adrian Chambers, hurry up, or the cake will melt!"
Norah Lamont's voice, with its characteristic sweet lilt and playful tone, carried across the air.
Adrian caught up with long strides and took the cake from her hands with a blend of exasperation and indulgence in his voice. "With everything available right here, why did you bother to make a special trip for a cake."
"You don't understand, the way they make ice cream cake here is one of a kind in all of J City," Norah laughed. "I had to reserve it ten days in advance for Magdalen."
"Alright, as long as you're happy!"
As they drew closer, the streetlight illuminated Norah's figure; upon seeing Gabriel, Norah paused abruptly.
Xavier's gaze fell on the girl opposite him, realizing it had been a month since they last saw each other.
Norah was wrapped in a pink coat, her delicate features framed by a soft pink and white knitted scarf. Her dark eyes shone against her porcelain skin, and the night lights lent an ethereal quality to her beauty.
Adrian exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Flemmings, you're here too?"
