"Love you," he whispered as his lips brushed her forehead, then her nose, then her cheeks..soft and reverent, like every part of her was something holy.
"You're such a sweetheart, Lili," he murmured, his voice trembling with emotion. "You're melting me, do you even know that?"
Lilith smiled gently, then reached up and slowly pulled him away from her embrace.
Before he could question it, she covered his eyes with her warm hands.
"Lili?" he whispered, a bit lost in the dark.
"Trust me," she said, her voice a blend of excitement and emotion.
He stilled. Then nodded. "Alright…"
With his hands still gently covering his own eyes, Alexander let her guide him forward through the snow. The only sounds were their footsteps crunching quietly and the distant flicker of streetlamps.
Lilith walked him toward the car, her heart thudding in her chest, not from nerves, but from wanting this moment to be perfect.
