"For my sunshine," he replied, his eyes twinkling.
He took her hand, his touch sending a shiver down her spine. "Shall we?" he asked, his voice a low rumble.
Lyse nodded, her hand slipping into his. He walked with her to the side of the car and after she was seated, he shut the door behind her before getting in beside her and the car instantly took off.
The restaurant Levi had chosen was a hidden gem, tucked away far in a quiet corner of the city where they were not likely to be noticed. Soft, amber light spilled from its windows, promising an intimate atmosphere. As they stepped inside, the gentle murmur of conversation and the tantalizing aroma of exotic spices enveloped them.
