As the afternoon sun cast a warm glow over their table, Gabriel leaned forward, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. "You know, Sophie, there's an art exhibition happening tonight at a gallery nearby. It's said to be filled with avant-garde works that push the boundaries of creativity. Would you be interested in attending with me?"A thrill ran through Sophie's veins.
