As I carefully set up a cozy picnic for just the two of us, with Ellie by our side, Xyriel was standing, lost in thought, gazing upon the captivating scenery. His eyes met mine as I beckoned him to join, and he graced me with a gentle smile.
"The sun is quite warm today. Please, have a seat," I warmly welcomed, patting the blanket to indicate his spot.
Seating himself, Xyriel inquired, "Zinnia, how did you discover this place?"
I smiled, "I stumbled upon it while visiting the town a few days ago. The moment I saw this spot, I knew I wanted to bring you here."
His cheeks flushed ever so slightly, and he shifted his gaze to his fidgeting hands. "Is something the matter?" I asked.
He admitted his concern, "I apologize, but with our busy schedules lately, I thought you might have lost interest in me and found someone else."
