Delphinia, seated in the front passenger seat, turned to glance at Evander as he maneuvered the steering wheel with practiced ease. "So, where are we going?" she asked, her voice light with curiosity.

Evander shot her a quick smile before focusing back on the road. "It's this little place Ashton and I used to go to all the time. They have great pizza, and it's got a cozy atmosphere. It's been a while since we've been there, but I think you'll like it."

Delphinia's eyes brightened, a smile spreading across her lips. "That sounds wonderful. I'm excited to try it out!" She shifted slightly in her seat, leaning back and looking over her shoulder at Ashton. "What about you, Ashton? Are you excited?"
