As they strolled back toward the house, the atmosphere remained calm. The night seemed to wrap around them like a protective cloak. The moon's soft glow illuminated their path, casting long shadows across the ground.
The sight of their home greeted them as they stepped inside, the familiar comfort wrapping around them like a cozy blanket. Jack removed his jacket and hung it by the door, his eyes drifting to the others as they settled in.
Valentina flopped onto the couch with her usual flair, stretching her arms above her head. "Alright, who's making tea? I'm too comfortable to move."
Elena raised a brow at her, smirking. "You're the one who's always bragging about having too much energy. What happened?"
"Energy spent wisely," Valentina replied with a cheeky grin, winking at Jack. "I deserve to relax."
Isabella rolled her eyes good-naturedly as she moved to the kitchen. "I'll make the tea. You can repay me by doing the dishes later."
