Chương 86: Finally...

*Adriel's POV*

I held her hand firmly as we walked up the spiral stairs; her giddiness didn't allow her to pick up on my scattered nerves. I was begging the heavens that she liked this place, and for once, it actually happened. She was thrilled,and every little surprised flick in her eye sent jolts of joy down my body. I never realized until now how much her mood affected mine.

I pushed open the door and moved out of the way, so she was on the rooftop terrace. Her curious eyes looked at the broad empty space with a never-dying smile.

"This is beautiful, she said. 

I stared down at the tiles below our feet.

"No,"I countered. "This isn't the surprise."

I contradicted her,covering her eyes with my hands. 

"The tiles are still equally beautiful,she said, leading her to the edge.

"Are you ready?"

I felt her release a breath and a nod, and I extended my hands to the horizon before us.
