The world felt brighter, colors more vibrant, as Chloe walked into the living room. Her heart hammered with a joyous rhythm. She saw Daniel on the couch, a book open on his lap, a small notebook beside him. She froze, a gasp escaping her lips.

“Bonjour, mon amour,” Daniel said, looking up at her with a beaming smile. His voice was a little hesitant, but undeniably French. Chloe felt as if she was levitating.

Her breath caught in her throat. She could barely speak. She just pointed at the notebook, her eyes wide with a thrilled excitement.

He grinned. "I wanted to… share in this part of your life. It seemed… important." He had to suppress a giggle. He just wanted to run around, to jump for joy!
