City Lights and a Vow of Reunion

The familiar disorientation of teleporting faded, replaced by a gentle evening breeze caressing my skin. With Kaelen's arms still wrapped securely around me, I kept my eyes closed, savoring the anticipation.

"You can look now," he murmured, his breath warm against my ear.

I opened my eyes and gasped. We were standing on what appeared to be a private rooftop terrace, overlooking a sprawling cityscape of twinkling lights and towering skyscrapers. The night air was warm despite the winter season, and the entire space was illuminated by strings of fairy lights that cast a golden glow over everything.

"Where are we?" I asked, stepping toward the glass railing to take in the breathtaking view.

"Dubai," Kaelen replied, moving to stand beside me. "I thought you might enjoy seeing the city dressed in its Christmas lights."
