After the wedding, life settled into sweet, quiet rhythms.
Alex was patient, attentive, and gentle—especially with Lily, who had always been shy and easily flustered.
When he held her hand, she'd blush.
When he brushed her hair behind her ear, she'd look away, heart racing.
When he kissed her softly, her knees would almost buckle.
Alex approached her carefully, step by step. First hand-holding, then long hugs, then gentle kisses. Every move measured, every touch tender.
And when the time came for their marital duties, he whispered encouragements and reassurances. She felt safe, loved, and cherished—and every blush, every shy glance only made him smile brighter.
