Chapter 184: The Starry Sky
Evaline:
I carefully opened the bag and found a sleek black box inside. It was looking elegant - unassuming at first glance, but the weight and finish told me it was something special. I popped the lid open, and my breath hitched.
Inside the box was a transparent package that held nearly two dozen pairs of earrings.
Golden.
Each pair was unique and breathtaking in its own way.
There were delicate hoops - small, medium, and large, each with a slightly different twist in design. A few round gold studs, a couple of heart-shaped ones, and even a pair shaped like tiny butterflies. There were pearls too - soft cream-colored ones in two different sizes. And one pair, a long, elegant drop earring with tiny red gemstones at the end, caught the light as I tilted the box.
They were all so beautiful.
"I... Draven..." I breathed, lifting the package to get a closer look at the beautiful pieces.
He was already watching me with a crooked smile tugging at his lips. "Do you like them?" he asked, his voice low and tender.
I nodded slowly as my heart swelled with warmth. "I love them."
His fingers brushed back my hair, and then his palm cupped the side of my face before he leaned in and pressed a soft kiss on my temple. My skin tingled instantly, warmth blooming under every inch he touched. His scent enveloped me and I leaned into him instinctively.
