Despite the lazy warmth of the afternoon sun in Stellis City, there was a determined sparkle in Luke’s coral-pink eyes. His grip on your hand tightened slightly as he walked beside you, his expression playful but focused.

“Find the place where you gave me my first gift,” he murmured, a thoughtful look crossing his face. A quiet chuckle escaped his lips as the hint you had left replayed in his mind. “You really went all out for my birthday, Watson,” he remarked, his voice filled with both amusement and affection.

“So, what’s the next hint?” Luke’s playful voice rang out, eagerness evident in his voice. “Let me guess…the restaurant we ate at on our first date?”
