Dinnertime arrived, and the four of them were famished. To celebrate Silas and Rose’s newfound romance, they decided to visit Belbanks’ most renowned local restaurant.

Jasper took the wheel while Alyssa sat next to him in the front passenger seat.

Silas tightened his embrace around Rose’s waist, sending a warm flush creeping up her cheeks. As Rose nestled against his chest, a wave of captivation washed over him, deeper than before.
