The wedding was fast approaching, and Eve was jittery. She had tried to keep herself composed, but the nerves were getting the best of her. It seemed Alex had noticed her unease and decided that spending some time together would help ease her nerves—perhaps his, too. He surprised her with an unexpected outing.
Eve felt she might explode from the butterflies in her tummy as they drove out of the city. The evening air was cool, and she watched the city lights fade into the distance, replaced by the vast open sky. Alex, looking more relaxed than she had seen him in weeks, was focused on the road but kept stealing glances at her, his eyes twinkling with excitement.
They arrived at a secluded park, where a scenic hilltop offered a perfect view of the night sky. Alex had arranged a cozy setup with blankets, cushions, and lanterns, creating a warm, inviting ambiance. Eve's breath caught in her throat at the sight of it.
