Chapter 384: With your boyfriend
Demitri showed the picture to Nora, but before he could stop her, she pressed the delete button.
"Hey! That was a good picture," he protested, pulling the phone back from her grasp.
"No, I didn’t like it," Nora insisted, shaking her head.
"Then let’s take another one," Demitri suggested, stepping back to frame the shot again. This time, he guided her on how to pose.
Nora followed his instructions, relaxing a little. When she finally smiled brightly, Demitri snapped the picture. He turned the phone around to show her. She examined it, still not entirely satisfied, but decided to keep it this time.
"Fine. But delete the first one," she said, handing the phone back. "Now, it’s your turn. Stand here."
Taking the phone from him, Nora watched as Demitri removed his glasses and struck a few effortless, confident poses. She was surprised at how naturally he carried himself in front of the camera.
"You’re surprisingly good at this," she admitted, clicking a few shots.
"Of course," he smirked, taking the phone back. Scrolling through his pictures, he nodded approvingly before suddenly pulling her close. His arm rested firmly on her shoulder.
"Let’s take one together," he said, switching to the selfie mode.
Nora hesitated for a second but eventually leaned in, her head slightly tilting toward him. The glowing Christmas tree behind them added a magical touch, casting a warm light around them. As they both smiled, Demitri clicked the picture.
