The soft glow of the fairy lights in the garden created a magical ambiance, and Eleanor found herself smiling at the beauty of it all. It felt like a dream. She was sipping her sparkling water, a feeling of deep well-being spreading through her.

A voice, slightly hesitant, broke through her thoughts. "Eleanor? Hey, didn't expect to see you here." It was Richard, her ex-boyfriend.

She turned and smiled calmly at him. "Richard. Hello. It's lovely, isn't it?" She gestured around at the enchanting scene.

He nodded, a small smile appearing on his face. "It is. So, how are things?"

"Marvelous, actually," she responded, her tone completely sincere.
