The garden had sprung to life since the curse was lifted. There were flowers in bloom and butterflies fluttering around. All the plants seemed to be reaching for the sun, soaking up the rays. Everything was so vibrant and colorful.
The floral scent almost swept me off my feet and I leaned heavily against Soren.
There was a small table for two in the center of the garden patio and I realized we had the whole garden to ourselves. Food had already been laid out and a waiter poured champagne into glasses.
Soren held my chair out for me and I sat down. I'd never been treated like this before. He sat down across from me and musicians came out and started to play some slow, romantic music.
I reached for the champagne and Soren quickly raised his glass.
“A toast," he said, smiling warmly
