"Do you like it, darling?" Niklaus asked, looking at her innocently floating around the foyer.

"This has been my family's home for years. And now it is yours." Violetta stared at him wide-eyed with a joyous smile on her face.
"Oh, Nik, thank you so much for welcoming me into your home." Violetta's smile was contagious, causing a small one to break out on Nik's face.
