𝗠ili snuggled up in Daniel's arms as the cold breeze struck her delicate skin, spraining her ankle wasn't really bad after all - especially when you have someone to carry you around.
Daniel made Miliani sit opposite him on a cute candlelight set up for dinner. He, never in his life, had brought any girl out for dinner as he found none of them worthy of his attention, his time and things like this stupid and unnecessary. But watching Miliani savour her delicious meal, taking dainty bites and quietly enjoying her food seemed to be one of his new musings. So, a few shifts on his usual would not hurt.
The chefs served various cute and colourful dishes, from starters to desserts, wrapped up in pretty decorations, while Daniel just ordered steak and raw whiskey. Miliani has a thing for dinky little things, Daniel has esteemed it on his own. Her contentment was palpable, its fragments were touching the surroundings of him. To him, Mili felt like the tastiest bite he used to save as a child to devour at the end of his meal.
After they had dinner in quiet, Daniel stayed there for a while, observing the sight of the town beneath his feet. He let the air of the new day touch his body as it was already past midnight with Mili by his side. Daniel's usual cold, unyielding demeanour was a little softer today, Miliani could sense it. Deep in her mind, she always remembered what Jessica suggested to her a few days back. Though she had no one in this world to look up to, no place to shelter herself, she still wanted to know when Daniel would set her free and let her go. But, tomorrow was his day, only his - a small yet important event for the endeavours he had envisioned. Power, money and respect of the whole world were on one side but breaking apart the Romanos empire and marking it as solely his was on another side, another level of his essentiality.
Mili mentally decided to wait until the day's event gets over and then, ask Daniel about her own queries. Not many words were exchanged between them as usual but Daniel noticed Mili trying to tiptoe on her injured ankle to witness the view he was beholding.
On discovering this, he lifted Mili in his arms again, giving the mere five-three girl an edge over his six-two figure. Never in her life had Mili seen the night view of any city. She was swamped with amusement, beholding the whole town sparkling down her eye level, as they were on the terrace of the highest building in the town.
"Happy?" Daniel questioned watching her getting glowed up, all delighted to which she nodded with a pleasant smile. Trivial things like that can make any human happy was not known to him unless it was his wife.
