Do you want this Hailey...... Varian is seen asking his dear Luna
“Yes. I want this, but I want to be ready for it,” she replied, her voice firm despite the warmth spreading through her body.
Varian’s expression softened, the hunger in his gaze mixing with something deeper, something more tender. “You’re right. We can’t rush this. But it doesn’t mean I don’t want you.”
With a resigned sigh, he settled her back on her feet, though the heat of their moment still lingered in the air. “I’ll control myself, but it’s going to be difficult.” He brushed a lock of hair behind her ear, his fingers lingering on her skin, sending shivers down her spine.
Hailey couldn’t help but smile, even as her heart ached with the closeness they had shared. “Just try to focus on something else, like… that time Lina tried to make a cake and ended up with a pancake instead.”
Varian chuckled, shaking his head. “Only you could pull me out of that moment with a pancake joke.”
The tension in the air began to ease, replaced by a warm intimacy that wrapped around them like a blanket. Hailey stepped back slightly, allowing herself to breathe again, her mind still swirling with desire and uncertainty.
“Let’s take a walk,” she suggested, hoping to clear her thoughts. “I don’t want this moment to end, but I also want to talk about what’s next for us.”
“Lead the way, my lady,” Varian replied, offering her his arm with a playful bow.
As they strolled through the moonlit garden, the scents of blooming jasmine and night-blooming flowers filled the air, adding to the enchantment of the evening. Varian kept a close eye on her, a smile dancing on his lips as they walked side by side, occasionally brushing against each other.
“Do you think it’s too late for me to get a second chance at dessert?” he teased, breaking the comfortable silence.
“Maybe if you start with the pancake,” Hailey laughed, feeling lighter than she had all day. “I think Lina has some leftovers.”
“Oh, I’ll definitely take my chances. Who knows? It might even be edible this time,” Varian winked, his playful demeanor making her heart flutter.
They wandered deeper into the garden, and the lighthearted banter slowly shifted to deeper topics. Hailey hesitated, her mind drifting back to her father’s letter. “Do you ever think about… what my parents would say?”
Varian’s expression turned serious, his eyes reflecting the moonlight. “Honestly, I’ve thought about it a lot.
“Right,” Hailey said quietly, though doubt lingered in her heart. “It’s just hard sometimes. I feel like I’m stuck between what I want and what they want for me.”
Varian stopped walking and turned to face her, his gaze intense. “Hailey, we can create our own path. What matters is what we feel for each other, not what anyone else thinks.”
His words sent a rush of warmth through her, and for a moment, she felt invincible, as if they could conquer any obstacle together. “You’re right,” she replied, her confidence growing. “But it’s scary to think about defying my father.”
“Then don’t think about it. Just focus on us. On what we share,” he said, reaching for her hand and intertwining their fingers. The touch sent a jolt of electricity coursing through her, igniting a spark that was impossible to ignore.
The intimacy of the moment enveloped them, and as they stood together, Hailey felt the boundaries between them dissolve. Varian’s gaze flickered from her eyes to her lips, and she could see the desire simmering just beneath the surface.
“Hailey,” he murmured, leaning in closer. “I want to know you—every part of you. I want to feel you against me, to share everything we have.”
His words ignited a wildfire in her veins, and her heart raced in response. “I want that too, Varian,” she whispered, her breath catching as he moved even closer, their lips almost brushing.
But a voice of caution nagged at the edges of her mind, reminding her that she had to be certain. “Just… give me time,” she said, her voice trembling slightly.
He nodded, his brow furrowing as he held her gaze. “I’ll wait for you, but know that my feelings won’t fade. They’ll only grow stronger.”
With a sigh of resignation, Varian wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close once more. “Then let’s just enjoy this moment, shall we?”
Hailey couldn’t help but smile, even as her heart ached with the closeness they had shared. “
They shared a smile, the tension dissipating into a comfortable warmth as they sat together in the moonlight, two hearts still yearning for what lay ahead.
“Let’s talk about our future,” Hailey said, her voice growing serious again. “What do you want for us?”
“I want everything,” Varian replied without hesitation. “I want to be by your side, to protect you, to fight for you. I want us to be able to create our own destiny, together.”
As he spoke, Hailey felt her heart swell with hope and longing. “Then let’s make a plan,” she said, a newfound determination in her voice. “Let’s figure out how to navigate this together.”
“Together,” Varian echoed, his eyes shining with conviction.
They sat in comfortable silence, hands intertwined, hearts beating in sync as they gazed at the stars above. The night was alive with possibilities, and for the first time in a long while, Hailey felt a sense of clarity. No matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, united by their love.
As the moonlight bathed them in a silvery glow, Hailey leaned her head on Varian’s shoulder, her heart filled with hope for their shared future. It was only the beginning of their journey, but it felt like the dawn of something beautiful.

First of all, can we just appreciate the fact that our beloved Hailey managed to navigate an emotional rollercoaster all while fighting off the overwhelming desire to turn her life into a cheesy romance novel?
