Caught off guard by Sophia's intense gaze, Ragnar became slightly flustered. He averted his eyes, attempting to hide the faint blush that tinted his cheeks.
His sudden shyness was evident as he instinctively shielded his face from her unwavering gaze.
Ragnar had always dreamed of this moment, envisioning the girl he loved eagerly awaiting his return, her face radiant with joy.
However, he never expected his dreams to become a reality, let alone with Sophia as the girl by his side.
Sophia, the same woman who once told him that a girl from Cescil couldn't be confined within the walls of a room all day yet would greet her husband with a glowing countenance, was now proving her words true.
Ragnar couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the depth of Sophia's actions.
It was as if she had taken his words to heart and made it her mission to welcome Ragnar, her husband, home with open arms and a beaming smile.
