Eva emerged from the bedroom wearing a dark blue dress with her hair tied up in braids. A light blush spread across her cheeks as she timidly looked in Lucas' direction.
Lucas handed Arya to Marietta and approached Eva. He brushed his fingers against her cheek and kissed her softly. Chloe hid a smile behind her hand as she walked over to Marietta's side.
Lucas pulled Eva towards the door, but stopped when he realized she was walking more stiff than normal. He glanced down at her in confusion and looked towards Chloe who was laughing quietly in the background.
"Is everything okay?" he asked Eva gently.
"Everything is fine!" she forcefully replied.
She took one more stiff step, but Lucas couldn't help but sweep her off her feet. Eva's eyes widened in surprise.
"Lu-Lucas…!" she started.
"If walking is uncomfortable for you, I shall just carry you." He walked to the door like this was normal.
