The Betrothal Gifts

The Lopez family estate was an elegant, sprawling property with a beautifully maintained garden and a long driveway lined with blooming flowers. As Samuel pulled the car to a stop in front of the grand entrance, Zinnia glanced at him, her expression a mix of nervousness and excitement.

"They're probably waiting for us now," she said softly, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

Samuel gave her a reassuring look. "We'll be just fine," he said simply, his voice steady and calm.

As they stepped out of the car, the front door opened, revealing Ricardo Lopez in a neatly tailored suit and Elena Lopez in an elegant dress, their smiles warm and inviting. Just as Zinnia and Samuel were about to approach, another car pulled up behind them, its sleek black frame catching the sunlight.
