"And to Beatrice, the vineyard." The words hung in the air, heavy with unspoken promise. Beatrice closed her eyes, picturing the rolling hills, the rows of vines bathed in sunlight, the scent of grapes hanging heavy in the air. A smile stretched across her face. A surge of energy coursed through her, making her toes tingle. She thought of the sunsets, the laughter, the taste of wine on her lips. She could barely contain herself. She took a deep breath, wanting to savor this moment forever.
