Pyris waved subtly as he approached, and Alexa's smile brightened even further upon seeing him. Next to her, Julienne, noticing her friend's glowing smile, turned to see the handsome young man not too far from them.
He wore the same kind of smile—genuine, unrestrained, and pure—a smile Julienne had never seen on him before, at least not until now, and only ever in Alexa's presence.
