The Debt Bride

Chapter Ten

"Amy! Amy?", he whispered.

She peeked and he told, "Tonight we'll go to Melrose café, the famous one in our city."

He knows that she likes café and he expected a nod from her. Instantly she nodded with a big smile.

  The cafe was softly lit with fairy lights and candles, casting a warm glow over the rustic wooden tables and lush greenery that adorned the walls. The gentle hum of conversations and the clinking of glasses created a soothing backdrop, making it the perfect place to unwind.

  As they settled into a corner table by a large window, Richard couldn't help but admire Amy. The soft lighting accentuated her features, casting a golden hue over her face.

  Amy had a natural beauty that captivated him. Her wavy auburn hair framed her face perfectly, falling just past her shoulders. Her eyes, a striking shade of green, sparkled with intelligence and warmth. They were eyes that could convey a thousand words without saying anything at all.

  She wore a simple yet elegant dress that complemented her slender frame, and a delicate necklace that added a touch of sophistication. The way she carried herself—with a blend of confidence and grace—only made her more enchanting.

  Amy's smile was one of her most captivating features; it was genuine, lighting up her entire face and making her eyes crinkle at the corners.

  Richard found himself captivated by the way she interacted with their surroundings—the way she savored the aroma of the freshly brewed coffee, how she thoughtfully perused the menu, and the subtle expressions of delight when she spotted a dish she liked. Every movement, every gesture, was a testament to her vibrant personality and her zest for life.

  They ordered cappuccino coffee, and Richard watched as Amy brought her cup to her lips. The steam curled around her face, and she closed her eyes for a moment, savoring the rich aroma and the warmth of the drink.

  As she took a sip, her expression softened into one of pure contentment. The simple pleasure she took in that moment made Richard's heart swell with unspoken emotions.

  Richard admired her silently, taking in every detail. He cherished these moments, knowing that they shared a connection through their work and friendship. While his feelings remained unspoken, he found solace in being close to her, sharing these quiet, beautiful moments.
