As Kiara and Kayla drew nearer, a gentle, unseen breeze rustled Kiara's hair, cascading it down her shoulders like a golden waterfall.
The soft strands danced in the light, accentuating her porcelain skin and radiant smile.
Darren's gaze remained transfixed on Kiara, his eyes drinking in the sight of her, mesmerized by an otherworldly beauty.
Kayla, standing beside her, seemed to fade into the background, unnoticed by Darren's Kiara-enamored eyes.
As the girls approached, Kayla effortlessly slid into Kyle's embrace, her eyes shining with warmth, while Kiara halted in front of Darren, her gentle "hi" piercing the spell that had held him captive.
Darren's gaze fluttered back to reality, and he blinked twice, like he was reawakening from a dream.
A soft flush crept up his cheeks as he stuttered a greeting, his voice barely above a whisper.
