The next morning, Victoria woke up with the warm memories of the previous day still fresh in her mind. The sun cast a golden glow across her room, and she couldn't help but smile at the thought of the surprises Alexander had orchestrated.

As she stretched and got ready for the day, her phone buzzed with a message from Alexander.

Alexander: Good morning, Victoria! How about breakfast at that charming little cafe we passed by yesterday?

Victoria grinned, replying with enthusiasm.

Victoria: Sounds like a perfect start to the day! See you there.

They met at the cafe, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the sound of gentle chatter created a cozy ambiance.

The quaint little cafe was adorned with rustic charm, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air. As Alexander and Victoria settled into a cozy corner, the morning sunlight streamed in through the windows, casting a warm glow on their table.
