Chapter 56 Darkness In The Light

• As the soft candlelight cast a warm glow over the table, Andrew meticulously arranged each place setting with care, creating an inviting atmosphere for the evening ahead. With precise attention to detail, he set the table, the flames of the candles flickering to life as he worked, their glow steady and comforting despite their short stature. The dancing flames illuminated his handsome features, adding to the allure of the scene he was setting. This dinner with Seth was an opportunity he cherished, a chance to reconnect after their time apart. Andrew wanted this evening not just to be memorable for himself, but for Seth as well.
• Though they had only been separated for a few weeks, it felt like an eternity to Andrew. He longed for the night to stretch on endlessly, for their conversation to flow without end. As if summoned by his thoughts, Seth descended the stairs, his eyes meeting Andrew's with a soft gaze, a smile playing at his lips as he observed the younger man meticulously arranging the table. Andrew had always been particular about these details, preferring to handle them himself without the assistance of staff. This attention to detail was a trait that had endured even after their time apart.
• Seth couldn't stop smiling as he took in the perfectionism of Andrew's actions. Even after nearly five years, this side of him still made Seth melt inside. The younger man's sweetness was as captivating as ever, tempting Seth to lean in and kiss him then and there.
