After the social event, Eric decided to take Ella to the presidential suite at the Nelson Group Hotel for the night. He believed that sometimes changing locations, like taking a mini vacation, could help them relax and bring unexpected results. This was a tip he had picked up from Richard, who seemed to have a knack for these things.
Eric admitted that while he was good with words, when it came to finding ways to make Ella laugh or have fun, he often had to take a page from Richard's book.
He picked up a slice of watermelon and held it out to Ella's lips. "Open wide, my queen," he teased.
Ella chuckled, opening her delicate lips and taking a big bite. The sweet, juicy watermelon burst in her mouth, and her heart felt just as full and content.
