Author's note: This is from Seraphina's point of view

After our talk about mind-reading and how to stay safe, Ash and I stepped on the terrace that is facing the garden.
Duke, Luca, Zoe, Sergio, and Calista were already there, seated at the table and munching on appetizers while the smokey scent of barbeque permeated the air from the corner where the cook was doing his meaty magic.
"What did we miss?", I asked while taking my seat next to Duke.
"Nothing much.", Duke said casually before planting a kiss on my cheek.
His arm around my shoulders felt right and I wanted to go back to the bedroom because last night (and this morning) was fantastic and I wanted more of my hot boyfriend.
I leaned on Duke and appreciated our closeness and everything we have. Friends, family, majestic house on a huge lot. Eternity with Duke won't be enough, and I hoped that we will have many moments like these in the future.
