Caleb's painting, "Jessica's Bloom," became the centrepiece of her florist shop. Customers admired its beauty, and Jessica's heart swelled with pride.

One evening, as the shop closed, Caleb arrived, carrying a small bag. "I thought we could have a quiet dinner together."

Jessica's smile spread wide. "I'd love that."

They set up a cozy table amidst the flowers, surrounded by soft candlelight. Caleb's assistant, Rachel, had prepared a delicious meal.

As they savoured each bite, their conversations flowed effortlessly.

As the night wore on, their gazes lingered, sparks flying between them. Caleb reached out, gently brushing a strand of hair behind Jessica's ear.

Her heart skipped a beat. "Caleb..."

His voice whispered low. "You're beautiful, Jessica. Inside and out."

Caleb's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled, his voice low and husky.

"Jessica, from the moment I met you, I knew you were different. Your kindness, your beauty... it shines from within."

Jessica's heart fluttered. "Caleb, you make me feel seen."

Caleb's hand brushed against hers, sending shivers down her spine. He leaned in, his lips whispering against her ear.

"I want to see all of you, Jessica. Your heart, your soul... your love."

Jessica's pulse quickened. She felt the warmth of his breath, the gentleness of his touch.

Their lips met in a tender kiss, the world around them melting away. The soft candlelight, the sweet scent of flowers, and the gentle hum of the music created a serene atmosphere.

Caleb's hands cradled her face, his thumbs tracing her cheeks. Jessica's fingers intertwined with his, their palms pressing together.

The kiss deepened, their hearts beating as one. Time stood still.
