The evening had settled over the city, casting a serene and gentle light across the landscape. The storm from the previous night was nothing more than a memory, replaced by a tranquil and beautiful evening. Emma and Adrian stood on the balcony of her cozy apartment, each cradling a cup of tea, their breath forming delicate tendrils in the cool air.
The city stretched before them, a mesmerizing tapestry of illuminated buildings and meandering streets. It was a view that usually left Emma breathless, but tonight, her heart raced for an entirely different reason.
As they gazed out at the city below, the lights of buildings and street lamps twinkling in the distance, Emma couldn't help but wonder aloud, "Adrian, why do you like me? Is there a reason for it?"
Adrian turned his gaze from the cityscape to Emma, his eyes reflecting the soft glow of the evening. He regarded her with a thoughtful expression, as if contemplating a question that held great significance.
