A great date
The evening was creeping in, painting the sky in hues of pink and purple, as I prepared for the date. My nerves were on edge, which wasn't something I was used to. I'm Ciara, the demon warrior who doesn't give a damn about anything, let alone something as trivial as a date.
But tonight felt different, and the anticipation was gnawing at me. I wanted everything to be perfect, not that I'd ever admit that out loud.
The garden was already set up, just like Zephara had suggested. The lanterns were strung up in the trees, casting a soft glow over the stone paths and the beds of vibrant flowers.
A small blanket was laid out on the grass, with a basket of food and a bottle of wine waiting in the center. The whole scene was annoyingly romantic, but if this was what would make Aeliana smile, then I'd do it.
