The next day.
The weather couldn't have been better. The sun was soft and golden, spreading warmth over everything. Under a thick, leafy tree, a sleek black Bentley sat gleaming in the light.
Outside the car, Kenneth leaned back in a bold shirt with the top buttons open, just enough to show off his perfect collarbones. His hair was expertly styled, the sunlight casting a golden shimmer over him that made him look impossibly attractive.
