Azrael's morning began with a warm smile.

He couldn't shake off the feeling:

Azara's touch

Her laughter

Their moonlit kiss

In the studio, Vivian noticed his glow.

"Love suits you, Azrael," she said.

Azrael's cheeks flushed.

"Is it that obvious?"

Vivian nodded.

"Your heart's open, Azrael. That's beautiful."

Edward, Lucas, Elijah, and Emily congratulated him.

"We're happy for you, bro," Lucas said.

Elijah grinned.

"Welcome to the love club!"

Emily squealed.

"I want to meet Azara!"

Azrael's family embraced Azara, welcoming her later that evening.

Vivian took Azara aside.

"We're glad you're making Azrael happy."

Azara's eyes shone.

"I feel the same about him."

As Azrael watched, his heart swelled:

Family acceptance

Love blossoming

A sense of belonging
