"Where are you going?" Aryan whispered when he realized Laura was moving, trying to release herself from his embrace.
"It's already morning, Honey. I want to help Mom in the kitchen," Laura replied while still trying to break free from Aryan's increasingly tight hug.
"Ana's already there. Just stay here with me." Laura shifted her position, now facing Aryan, and she gently caressed Aryan's rough jawline with a teasing smile.

The gentle sea breeze caressed her body, seemingly failing to disturb her wonder until a hand grabbed her and brought her back to reality."Special for You, Honey," Aryan whispered softly while pulling Laura's hand to follow his steps.
