Chilly Stares Versus Placid Smiles

"Mr. and Mrs. Treshvire, It's my pleasure to finally meet you in person." Luke smiled bewitchingly while his eyes darted from Leon's chilly stares to Ella's placid smiles. "I want to sincerely thank you both, for giving me this opportunity to clear the air after my sister made a huge mess."

"You're welcome!" Ella smiled briefly. "However this meeting is for eight minutes. So I suggest you go straight to the point."

"I love you so much, Ariella!" Luke wanted to scream out. However, he knew the consequences of blurting out that level of stupidity. So, he quickly cautioned himself, took in a deep breath, and said; "thank you. I promise to make the meeting brief."

Luke couldn't help but admire Ella's enchantress smile and how she welcomed him warmly to their table. He wished he could freeze time so that he could whisk her away on a joy ride filled with laughter and lots of love. He also wished Leon hadn't accompanied her to the restaurant.
