บท 126: A stroll in the cold night

After the party, Lara and Nate reached the car.

«Do you want to take a stroll?» he asked her.

She nodded, her cheeks slightly pink.

He drove to another place, for he didn't want to stay too close to the party.

The best place to walk in that period of the year was the old park in the residential area where Nate's penthouse was. They were also close to home and could go back at any moment.

Some of the trees were in full bloom, but it was night. The buds were closed and hiding in the leaves, and the darkness didn't allow to discern the colours. In such a scenario, they had to walk and feel the scent of flowers and early fruits without seeing much.

Lara's hand had found Nate's, and she had entwined their fingers tightly. Her simple action had made him sigh in awe, but he knew it was because of that single - of that half - cocktail. She was cheery that night, and she would look at him and sigh or observe the surroundings with a blush.
