As they began walking toward the area, Rylan approached them and spoke respectfully, "Welcome back, Mr. Zylan and Mrs. Naomi. How was your trip?"
Zylan gave him a brief nod—enough for Rylan to understand the answer without further words. Naomi, however, responded with a polite smile. "It was great, thank you."
Rylan nodded in acknowledgment before Zylan spoke again. "Get the Eaglet."
Without hesitation, Rylan left to fulfill the request. Meanwhile, Naomi and Zylan made their way to the garden and took a seat. The sun had already dipped below the horizon, leaving behind a breathtaking orange-pink sky that cast a dreamy glow over everything. The gentle evening breeze brushed against them, carrying the faint scent of flowers.
Naomi entwined her fingers with Zylan's, savoring the warmth of his palm against hers. She turned to him and whispered, "Promise me you'll never leave me."
