Ariana awoke to an empty garden, a sense of longing lingering in the air. Lucian, however, had discreetly taken his place beside her while she slept. In the soft morning light, he watched her with a tender gaze, captivated by the peaceful innocence that graced her slumber.
From his perspective, her delicate features told a story of dreams and vulnerability. Lucian, ever the enigma, felt a pang of fondness for the girl who had unintentionally woven her way into his heart.
From Ariana's perspective, however, there was no trace of him. Hurt tinged with confusion colored her awakening. Had he truly left her? The emptiness in her chest grew until a familiar voice flirtatiously chimed, "Good morning, my little dragon."
Startled, she turned to find Lucian beside her, a playful smirk on his lips. "Did you really think I'd leave you all alone?" he teased, his eyes dancing with mischief.
As she processed the relief and surprise, he playfully added, "I stayed, didn't I? Now, how about a morning joke to brighten your day?" Lucian, ever the entertainer, began a tale that carried the morning with laughter, weaving a tapestry of whimsy and connection beneath the cherry blossoms.
