Hugo sat on the edge of his bed, trying his best to look calm, like this was all part of his master plan.
Lily sat across from him on the same bed, her legs tucked neatly beneath her, her eyes watching him curiously.
The warm, flickering light of the Delight Candles danced around the room, giving everything a romantic, almost magical vibe.
The sweet, magical scent of the candles filled the air—it was like honey and vanilla mixed with something that just made you feel things.
For Hugo, it felt like he could lift a car if he needed to. It felt like he had inhaled a mix of confidence and caffeine. His heart was pounding, but his nerves were steeling.
For Lily… well, her occasional fidgeting said enough. She shifted slightly on the bed, brushing her hair back and biting her lip more frequently.
Hugo narrowed his eyes, pretending to think deeply. 'It's working,' he thought, a triumphant grin creeping onto his face.
