Enchanted Nightfall: Falling for Destiny ( Quintessa and Tyrone ) novel Chapter 272

The camera was perfectly set up, and Quintessa stood in front of it, getting a last-minute touch-up from the makeup artist. A few steps away, Jonathan caught her side glance. There was something about him, an air of grace that seemed to have settled over him through the years, a presence that was both calm and distinguished. “Still waters run deep”; that phrase fit him perfectly.

Quintessa smiled to herself. The city was flooded with trendy guys, but men like Jonathan were rare jewels. No wonder Cynthia was head over heels for him, lost in a whirlwind of emotions.

Director Frost pointed out an issue with the set design, urging the prop master for a quick fix. Jonathan approached, his period costume adding an aura of nobility to his demeanor; he asked, "Were you sneaking a peek at me just now?"

As the makeup artist quickly excused herself, Quintessa lightly touched her hairpin and responded with a lazy tone, "You're overthinking. I wasn't sneaking peeks; I was studying you."

Jonathan gave a curious look, "And what did your study find?"

Thinking of Cynthia, Quintessa looked up at Jonathan's gentle and handsome face, saying with a smile, "Actually, I did find something. Jonathan, you've still got it."

Jonathan paused, "What do you mean?"

Quintessa winked at him, "Exactly what it sounds like."

Once the set was ready, the director called for action. This scene was a late addition, but Quintessa and Jonathan, already having a good understanding of each other, worked well together. Their scenes usually only required one take unless there were other complications. That was why the crew enjoyed watching them perform - it was not only a feast for the eyes but also it proceeded fast.

Amidst Jonathan's tender gaze, the director called cut.

Quintessa, leaning into Jonathan's embrace, said, "Jonathan, you can let go now."

Jonathan's arm was still around her waist, causing Quintessa to lose her balance slightly.
