The café buzzed with the comforting clink of coffee cups and the soft hum of conversation, creating a cozy backdrop that wrapped around Billy and Kaia like a warm blanket.
Moonlight streamed through the windows, casting a silvery glow across the polished wooden floor.
Their empty cups lay pushed aside, and while laughter from earlier had faded into a gentle silence, it was a silence filled with mutual understanding rather than awkwardness.
Billy's gaze, typically distant and stormy, softened as it settled on Kaia.
Leaning forward slightly, he drummed his fingers on the tabletop, a nervous habit that spoke volumes. And then, in an unexpected burst of spontaneity, he stood up.
Kaia blinked in surprise. "Huh?"
Without explanation, Billy extended his hand toward her. "Come," he said, a boyish smile lighting up his face. "Just follow me."
Her brows lifted in confusion. "Billy, what...? Where are we going?"
His smile widened mischievously as he teased, "You'll see."
