Jonathan felt a bubble of laughter from Ella, and without hesitation, he rose and swept her into his embrace, his broad chest providing a comforting haven for her to lean against. His deep and resonant voice rumbled close to her ear. "Ella, I really am one lucky guy."

"Mm?" Estelle looked up into his eyes.

His narrow gaze was intense as he looked back at her. "Just really lucky, that's all."

Adrian exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Flemmings, you're here too?"
