I stepped into the apartment, still feeling the weight of the day on my shoulders. The moment I closed the door behind me, I noticed something was different.
The soft glow of candlelight flickered from the living room, casting warm, golden hues across the walls. A faint, delicate scent of lilies filled the air, mixed with the subtle aroma of vanilla candles. I paused, my breath catching in my throat as I took it all in.
This wasn't just any evening. Carmen had done something something significant.
I slipped off my shoes and padded quietly into the living room, my eyes widening as I took in the sight before me. The room was transformed, almost unrecognizable. There were flowers everywhere white lilies, their petals delicate and fragrant, mixed with deep red roses.
Candles were scattered across the room, their gentle light creating a soft, intimate atmosphere. It was beautiful, romantic, and so unlike Carmen's usual style, which made it all the more meaningful.
