Chapter 24

The excitement of the unexpected adventures lingered as Victoria and Alexander made their way to the door, holding the tickets to a hot air balloon escapade. However, as they stepped into the corridor, a sudden wave of dizziness swept over Victoria, causing her to stumble on her feet.

Concern etched across Alexander's face, he swiftly caught her, "Victoria, are you alright?"

She managed a weak smile, "Just a bit lightheaded. Probably the excitement getting to me. I'll be fine."

Alexander supported her, "Let's not push it. We can reschedule the balloon ride. Your well-being is more important."

Reluctantly, Victoria agreed, realizing that perhaps the unexpected should be approached with caution. They decided to retire to their respective rooms for the night, hoping that a good rest would banish the dizziness that clouded the evening.
