The evening was still, the air thick with the scent of jasmine. Chloe sat on the balcony, watching the city lights twinkle in the distance. A gentle warmth spread through her, a sense of belonging that settled deep within her bones. Across the room, Alex was working, as he often did, on his computer.

Alex closed the laptop. “Ready for bed?” he asked, his voice soft. He came and sat next to her, and she rested her head on his shoulder.
