Time With Chloe, Payback

After obtaining the information he needed from Luna, Silas didn't rush into action. He didn't immediately set his plans of revenge into motion against the group responsible for what Chloe and her family had been through.

Instead, he made a deliberate choice to spend time with Chloe. It had been more than two years since he last saw her, and now, sitting across from her in a quiet café tucked away from the bustling streets, he could barely take his eyes off her.

She looked radiant, even more beautiful than he remembered. Her long, auburn hair cascaded over her shoulders, framing a face that seemed untouched by the hardship she had endured.

Her eyes sparkled with warmth and familiarity, yet Silas couldn't ignore the subtle weariness in them. They were evidence of the burdens she had carried.

Silas wanted nothing more than to hold her in his arms, stroke her long, soft hair, and whisper into her ears how much he missed her.
