Letting the kiss speak

This was Aster's first time stepping into Gregor's bedroom, and as expected, it carried his distinct scent—rich and unmistakably his. The atmosphere was calming, with an air of quiet elegance. The centerpiece of the room was a grand four-poster bed draped in pristine white sheets, its delicate curtains swaying ever so slightly.

"Take a seat," Gregor said, making his way toward the cupboard. As he opened it, he retrieved a small velvety box.

While he was occupied, Aster's gaze wandered to the large paintings adorning the walls. Each piece was intricate and full of life, capturing her curiosity.

"Did you paint these, or were they commissioned?" she asked, intrigued.

"I made them," Gregor replied, closing the cupboard before walking back toward her.

Aster's eyes widened slightly in admiration. "Oh. You're talented," she remarked, genuinely impressed.
