As Lydia and I stepped out of the training center, the late afternoon sun bathed us in its warm glow. A black SUV was waiting for us, its sleek exterior gleaming in the light. I glanced at Lydia, who wore a questioning look on her face.
"Where are we going?" she asked, her curiosity evident in her voice.
I offered her a small smile. "You'll see," I replied cryptically, a sense of excitement bubbling within me.
We climbed into the SUV, and I directed the driver to take us home, to our castle nestled amidst the rolling hills and lush forests. Yes our castle for me now it was our home even thought it could be better if I live only with her.
As we drove, I couldn't help but steal glances at Lydia, the way the sunlight danced in her hair, illuminating the golden strands like strands of spun gold.
"What's on your mind, Aurelia?" Lydia's voice broke through my reverie, pulling me back to the present moment.
