Chapter 20 Simple Date

• The evening breeze was cool as Dominic stepped out of his office and into the city streets. He felt a strange mix of anticipation and uncertainty as he made his way to the restaurant where he and Natalie had agreed to meet. It wasn’t their first dinner together, but tonight felt different. There was a shift in the air, something more personal than their usual business meetings.
• He arrived a few minutes early, the familiar hum of the city providing a comforting background noise as he waited outside the restaurant. His thoughts drifted back to Natalie, to the way she had been glowing recently, the subtle changes in her demeanor that had caught his attention. He found himself wondering about her, about what had brought about this change, and what it might mean for them both.
• Just as he was lost in thought, he saw Natalie’s car pull up to the curb. It was sleek, elegant, and matched her perfectly. She stepped out, her face lighting up when she saw him. There was that glow again, that quiet happiness that seemed to radiate from her.
