As the weeks passed, Alex found himself increasingly captivated by Eve. It wasn't just her beauty, though her radiant smile and sparkling eyes always caught his attention. It was the little things—her thoughtfulness, her laugh, the way she listened intently when he spoke, and how she handled challenges with grace and strength. He often found himself daydreaming about her, recalling moments they had shared, like their impromptu cooking session in the kitchen, and the way she had lit up when she received the flowers he brought home.
One morning, Alex woke up early, feeling content. He glanced over at Eve, who was still peacefully asleep beside him. Her hair was spread out across the pillow, and she looked so serene. Alex brushed a gentle kiss on her forehead, careful not to wake her. As he got up to start his day, he felt a warmth in his chest—a feeling that had grown stronger with each passing day.
