Chapter 26

With ice cream in hand, they decided to stroll to a nearby park to enjoy their treats. The night air was crisp, and the park was bathed in the soft glow of streetlights. They found a quiet bench beneath a willow tree and settled in, savoring the ice cream and the tranquility of the night.

As they indulged in their frozen treats, the conversation took a reflective turn. Victoria, looking at the city skyline, spoke, "You know, Alexander, today has been filled with surprises, and I can't help but think about the unexpected turns life takes."

He nodded, "Life has a way of throwing curveballs, doesn't it? But sometimes, those unexpected moments lead to the most memorable experiences."

Victoria smiled, "I never expected our partnership to evolve into all this. Roller coasters, ducks, and now ice cream under the moonlight."
