As Kate and Sebastian stepped into their home after the conference, a sense of relief washed over them. The buzz of the event faded, leaving a comfortable silence in its wake.“You were incredible today,” Sebastian said, his voice warm and genuine. He turned to her, admiration shining in his eyes. “Your composure was impressive. I knew you could handle it, but you surpassed my expectations.”Kate felt a rush of warmth flood her cheeks. “Thank you, Sebastian. I was so nervous at first, but your support helped me.”He took a step closer, his gaze unwavering. “You have this amazing spark in your eyes when you’re passionate.

Sebastian reached out, gently tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, his touch electric. “You

Kate walked into the familiar café, the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloping her like a warm hug. After her visits to the hospital, she was ready for some lighthearted conversation with her friend Jasmine.The moment Jasmine spotted her, her face broke into a wide grin. “Kate! You made it!
