Shared Dreams

Rain parted her lips, utterly speechless. 

"What? You didn't expect something like this from me?" Alexander teased as they reached the shore. He helped her out of the boat, guiding her toward the gazebo.

Inside, a table was set with exquisite attention to detail. Soft music filled the air, creating an intimate atmosphere. Alexander pulled out her chair, and Rain took her seat, beaming as he joined her.

"You really never fail to surprise me," she said, her wide smile reflecting how special she felt in this moment. It meant so much that Alexander had gone to such lengths for her.

Dinner began with an array of their favourite dishes, carefully chosen to please them both. They savoured each course under the stars, the lanterns in the distance casting a soft glow across the lake. Between bites, Alexander shared small memories from his childhood, revealing delightful details she hadn't known before. His stories made her laugh and filled her with warmth.
