Chapter 42 : Let’s Get this Done

The garden had sprung to life since the curse was lifted. There were flowers in bloom and butterflies fluttering around. All the plants seemed to be reaching for the sun, soaking up the rays. Everything was so vibrant and colorful.

The floral scent almost swept me off my feet and I leaned heavily against Soren.

There was a small table for two in the center of the garden patio and I realized we had the whole garden to ourselves. Food had already been laid out and a waiter poured champagne into glasses.

Soren held my chair out for me and I sat down. I’d never been treated like this before. He sat down across from me and musicians came out and started to play some slow, romantic music.

I reached for the champagne and Soren quickly raised his glass.

“A toast,” he said, smiling warmly at me.

Giggling, I raised my glass too.

“What are we toasting?” I asked.

“You, Mila. A toast to your bravery and determination. If not for you, this village would still be trapped in darkness and I… I would still be living a boring life,” he said. He winked at the last statement.

The rest was really sweet.

We clinked our glasses and I took a sip. The bubbling drink tickled me all the way to my stomach.

I was so impressed with the presentation of food on the table. Soren had put a lot of planning into this. He even picked out a meal that he somehow knew I would like.

We ate and sipped champagne until we were completely full.

Sighing, I leaned back and rubbed my belly.

Soren stood up and held a hand out to me.

I arched an eyebrow.

“Time to work off that meal,” he said, bouncing his eyebrows.

Slowly, I took his hand. He pulled me up and held me in a close embrace, guiding me in the steps of a slow dance.

I smiled and rested my head on his chest, listening to the heavy thump of his heart. It was racing, just like mine.

Glancing up at him, I saw that he was looking down at me.

I blushed but held his gaze.

“This is an awful lot of trouble you went through, just to have lunch with me,” I said, nodding to the romantic setting around us.

Soren smirked. “It was no trouble at all. Besides, this way, you get to see the impact of lifting the curse.”

“I know but… you could have just asked. It didn’t have to be so fancy,” I clarified.

“Ahh…” Soren released my hand for a moment.

He touched my face, his fingertips warm on my cheek, then he took my hand again and twirled me away from him. He pulled me back and held me even closer.

“After everything we’ve dealt with, I thought we both deserved a quiet, peaceful meal. And you… Well, you’re worth it,” he said sweetly.

I shook my head and tried to pull away. I wasn’t worth all this! After helping my foster mother kill witches and running away when I was a child. I was lucky to have broken the curse. It wasn’t talent.

Soren held me firmly and pressed me against him. He gave me a deep, meaningful look that I felt straight into my soul.

My heart melted and I sighed, resting my head against him again.

Maybe… maybe he was right?

“Boss?”

Payne’s voice cut into our moment.
