After we started talking and getting closer, I felt more and more comfortable with Étienne. Our conversations became deeper and more personal, and I began to realize that I had strong feelings for him.
Étienne looked at me with a smile, and I could see in his eyes that he felt the same way. We walked in the forest, enjoying the sun and nature, and I felt like I was exactly where I was meant to be.
We talked about everything and nothing, about our dreams and our fears. Étienne told me stories from his childhood, and I could see the light in his eyes when he spoke of his parents.
I felt like I was discovering a new world, a world where people were real and authentic. Étienne was different from others; he had a depth and sensitivity that I had never seen before.
As we walked, I felt more and more drawn to him. I could smell his scent, a mix of wood and musk, and I felt like I was melting into his arms.
Étienne looked at me with a smile, and I could see in his eyes that he felt the same way. We stopped under a tree, and Étienne took my hand.
"I'm happy to have met you," he said, looking into my eyes. "I feel like I've found something special."
I smiled, feeling my heart pound.
"Me too," I said, looking into his eyes. "I feel like I've found my home."
Étienne smiled, and he took me in his arms. We kissed under the tree, feeling the sun on our faces and the wind in our hair.
It was as if the world had disappeared, and only the two of us remained. I felt like I was living a dream, a dream that had come true.
And that's how our love story began under the tree in the forest. We knew we had found something special, something that would bind us forever.
We stayed under the tree for a long time, kissing and looking into each other's eyes. The sun began to set, and the shadows of the forest grew longer.
Étienne took my hand, and we began to walk through the forest. We said nothing, but we knew that we were made for each other.
As we walked, the forest became darker and darker. The stars began to appear in the sky, and the moon rose above the trees.
Étienne stopped me under another tree, and he looked into my eyes.
"I love you," he said, his voice trembling with emotion.
I smiled, feeling my heart pound.
"I love you too," I said, my voice barely audible.
Étienne took me in his arms, and we kissed again. This time, it was stronger, more passionate.
We stayed under the tree for a long time, kissing and looking into each other's eyes. The world around us had disappeared, and only the two of us remained.
And that's how our love grew, under the stars and the moon of the forest. We knew we had found something special, something that would bind us forever.
The days passed, and our love continued to grow. We spent all our free time together, exploring the forest and discovering each other.
Étienne showed me the most secret places in the forest, the hidden waterfalls and the flowery meadows. We sat on rocks, watching the sun set over the forest.
I felt like I was living a dream, a dream that had come true. Étienne was my soulmate, my companion, my love.
One day, Étienne took my hand and led me to a hidden clearing in the forest. The clearing was filled with wildflowers, and a small stream flowed through the middle.
Étienne looked into my eyes, and I saw something special in his gaze.
"Lyra," he said, his voice trembling with emotion. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
My heart pounded, and I smiled.
"I want to too," I said, my voice barely audible.
Étienne took me in his arms, and we kissed under the wildflowers in the clearing. It was a magical moment, a moment that would bind us forever.
