Back in Eaton's mansion

As the sleek black car glided through the gates of Eaton's mansion, Lily felt a rush of excitement mixed with a hint of nervousness. The sprawling estate loomed ahead, its grandeur a testament to the wealth and power of the Eaton family. She had spent the last few days in a blissful haze of passion and adventure with Chris, and now, returning to reality felt both exhilarating and daunting.

The car came to a smooth stop in front of the grand entrance, and Chris turned to her, a playful smile dancing on his lips. "Ready to face the family?" he asked, his blue eyes sparkling with mischief.

Lily took a deep breath, her heart racing. "As ready as I'll ever be," she replied, trying to sound more confident than she felt. She had met Chris's parents before, but this time felt different. They had just returned from their steamy getaway, and she couldn't shake the feeling that their relationship had deepened in ways that would be hard to explain.
