Chapter 97

• Darien's pov
• As we finished our shower, I turned off the water and we stepped out onto the mat, wrapping ourselves in towels. Claire smiled at me, her hair dripping with water, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of adoration for her. Her eyes sparkled with amusement, and her skin glowed with a warm, golden light. I felt my heart skip a beat as I gazed at her, feeling a sense of wonder and awe at the beauty that stood before me.
• "Breakfast awaits," I said, grinning at her. "We should get dressed." Claire nodded, and we both began to dry off and get dressed. I pulled on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, while Claire slipped into a pair of leggings and a sweater. We both looked at each other, smiling, and I knew that we were both thinking the same thing - that we were happy to be together, and that we were excited to see what the day held.
