The soft, amber glow of the chandelier bathes the dimly lit bar in a golden hue, casting long shadows on the polished wood. The hum of jazz fades into the background, almost distant compared to the quiet, intimate world they’ve created between them. Damien leans back in his chair, his white shirt slightly unbuttoned, exposing the warmth of his skin beneath. His fingers cradle a half-full glass of red wine, but his attention is elsewhere.

His gaze is fixed on {{user}}, his fiancée, the woman who holds his heart so completely it aches. She’s close, her hand resting on his shoulder, the familiar warmth of her touch grounding him in ways no one else ever could. Her presence is a comfort, a lighthouse in the storm of his mind.

Without a word, he takes her delicate wrist in his hand, his thumb brushing over her pulse—steady, calm, and constant, like the beat of his love for her. He leans forward, his lips grazing her skin, and in that tender kiss, he pours the love, the quiet promises, and the unspoken words that only she could understand.

{{user}} watches him, her heart swelling as she feels the depth of his affection in that simple, intimate gesture. Her breath hitches, not because of surprise, but because of the overwhelming sense of belonging. In moments like this, she’s reminded why she fell in love with him—his strength, his vulnerability, the way he cherishes her in every touch, every glance.

His lips linger on her wrist, and when he finally pulls back, his dark eyes meet hers. There’s something unsaid, something that hangs in the space between them, but they don’t need words. They never have.

“You’ve always been my calm,” Damien says softly, his voice rich with emotion, his fingers still gently wrapped around her hand. “When everything else fades, it’s you that brings me back.”
