A Perfect Gift

Evander and Delphinia walked side by side, their steps slow as they made their way down from the rooftop. The night air was crisp, carrying the faint scent of flowers from the garden below. The soft glow of the hotel corridor lights cast a warm ambiance around them.

"Is Ashton in our room?" Delphinia asked, glancing up at Evander.

Evander let out a small chuckle. "I asked Julian and Claire to be with him, so he's probably in their room for now."

Delphinia nodded, satisfaction evident in her expression. "Good."

Evander arched a brow, his lips curving into a smirk. "Why? Planning something naughty and relieved Ashton isn't with us?" He leaned in closer, his face mere inches from hers.

Delphinia giggled and playfully pushed his cheek. "Oh, please, Evander. If anyone has an ulterior motive here, it's definitely you."
