The view from the hilltop was breathtaking, and for the first time in a long while, I felt a genuine sense of peace. The lights of the city below twinkled like stars, and the river's shimmering reflection added a magical touch to the scene. As I stood there with Riley, I couldn't help but feel a warm glow of happiness knowing she was slowly beginning to accept me.
I reached out and cupped her cheek in my hand, my thumb gently brushing against her soft skin. "Riley," I whispered, leaning in closer. Our lips met in a tender kiss, filled with the promise of new beginnings and unspoken emotions. The world seemed to disappear around us, and all that mattered was this moment.
Suddenly, a loud thud interrupted our kiss, and we both turned to see Lydia sprawled on the ground. She looked up at us with wide eyes, clearly having witnessed our intimate moment.
