Zane POV ~
Scattered pillows, jars of glowing fairy lights, framed quotes about love and friendship, even a few musical instruments leaned casually against the side. There were snacks of every kind....sweet and savory alike and the gentle scent of chocolate drifted up as Silas began unpacking the food from the basket.
He laid everything out with care, frosted cakes, freshly sliced fruits, golden-brown chicken, crispy chips… and my favorite.. chocolate ice cream.
How thoughtful of him, I mused, my heart warming as I grabbed the ice cream immediately and dug in with childlike joy.
"Do you like it here?" Silas asked, watching me with hopeful eyes.
I nodded excitedly, the cool sweetness of the ice cream making the moment even more perfect.
"I set it up especially for you," he added, clearly proud of himself.
"This is exactly what I needed, you see," I replied between bites, my voice soft with gratitude. "Thank you so much, Silas."
