Eric grinned. “Yeah, | can see it.”
Hadley’s curiosity only grew. “Let's check it out. | want to know what's making it shine.”

Her fingertips brushed against Eric’s forearm. “It’s beyond my reach... Can you assistin retrieving it?”
“Of course.”
A playful smile spread across Eric's face as he nodded, his hands finding Hadley’s waist with unexpected
confidence before lifting her upward in one fluid motion.
“Ah!” The sound escaped Hadley’s throat—a startled exclamation, a mix of amusement and irritation. “I intended

“I am fulfilling your request to the letter,” Eric countered, one eyebrow arching with deliberate mischief. “Does

“Beats me,” Eric replied, his shoulders rising in a gesture of genuine confusion that mirrored her own.
“Such peculiar circumstances...” Hadley murmured, her fingers still curled around the stem of the rose. She had
begun to turn away when a flicker of light at the edge of her vision arrested her movement.
“Look! Another light over there!” Hadley exclaimed.
“You're right, there is,” Eric confirmed.
