The Etiquettes

As Adrian woke up the next morning, Monday, a sense of awe washed over him. The towering walls, adorned with intricate carvings, and the vast, echoing halls spoke of a rich history and tradition.

Lily is already awake in her room too. She quickly got up to go greet her man, Adrian, the real man in the guest room.

Knock…knock… "Yes, you can come in," Adrian said as he heard a knock on the door.

Lily: "Good morning, my love."

"Good morning, sweetie," replied Adrian.

Lily moved slowly onto the bed and curled up with Adrian.

Lily: "I hope your night was good."

"Splendid, sleeping on Jupiter is as pleasant as sleeping in heaven," said Adrian. The look on his face shows that he's not done with his speech.

" What? You want to say something else?" Lily asked him.

Adrian: "I just want to say I love you so much." These words mean so much to Lily. Her day is lit up already.

With smiles on her face... "I love you too, dear," Lily said.

"This palace is so beautiful; I love it," said Adrian.
