Suddenly, the room was bathed in Light.
Edwin excused himself to the bathroom for a quick shower. Upon his return, he felt revitalized. Retrieving his trousers from the foot of the bed, he produced a velvet box and playfully brushed it against the tip of Laura's nose.

Laura cast a glance at him before lowering her head, her hands trembling slightly as she devoutly opened the box.
Nestled inside the box was a delicate pink diamond necklace.

Swiftly, she lifted the necklace to her neck and asked, “Is it beautiful?” Her slender collarbone and flawless skin added to the allure.
Edwin gazed at her, his voice growing even hoarser than before.

As he carefully secured the necklace around her neck, Laura expressed her discomfort, saying, “I'm worried your cigarette might burn me.”
