Chapter 296: A Proposal
Nora looked at the shining stars in contentment as she sighed," The fireworks are going to go off on the other side of the palace, aren’t they?"
"Hmm."
"And we are here so we’ll miss out on seeing them..."
Demetri nuzzled her neck and asked," You want to go there to see them."
Nora shook her head, leaning a bit sideways to let him nuzzle close to her," Nah! I’d rather be with you. Create our own fireworks."
Demetri smiled, his warm breath sending shivers down Nora’s spine. "Our own fireworks, huh?" he whispered playfully as he tickled her stomach.
Giggling, she caught his fingers and intertwined them with hers. "It’s going to be midnight soon."
"Yes."
As they heard the distant countdown to the end of the year, Demetri turned her towards him, gently taking her lips in a gentle kiss. As the kiss deepened, Nora could only help but think, ’They’ started to kiss the same. It was as if she knew just what he was going to do next and she could welcome him or parry with him.
