As the festive evening drew to a close, Seraphina and I made our way back to our room, our hands intertwined. The hallway was quiet, the flickering light of the torches casting warm shadows on the walls. I felt a sense of calm wash over me, knowing we had faced many challenges and emerged stronger together.
When we reached our room, Seraphina closed the door behind us and turned to me with a mischievous smile. "You know," she said, her voice low and teasing, "I've been thinking about something all evening."
"Oh?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "And what might that be?"
She stepped closer, her fingers trailing up my arm, sending shivers down my spine. "How about we make this night even more memorable?"
I felt a rush of excitement, my heart quickening in response to her touch. "I like the sound of that," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.
