• Chapter 126: Morning Vulnerabilities
• Before Lena can utter another word, before she can even process the tender moment hanging between them, Luca moves closer with deliberate intent. His movements are fluid yet urgent, as if drawn by an invisible force he can no longer resist. Both of his hands find her face, his palms warm and slightly rough against her skin as he cups her chin with infinite gentleness. His fingers spread naturally along her jawline, tilting her head upward until their eyes lock in perfect alignment.
• A low, rumbling chuckle escapes his throat—the sound rich and genuine, filled with something deeper than mere amusement. Without warning, he pulls her into his embrace, and the hug that follows transcends every conversation, every whispered confession, every meaningful glance they've ever shared.
