home, but this enthusiasm was new. It was as if a spark had ignited within him, and the thought of preparing something fresh for Oriana filled him with a sense of purpose.
As he walked through the garden, the earthy scent of the soil mixed with the sweet aroma of ripe vegetables. He could almost hear the plants whispering in the gentle breeze, urging him to take care of them. “You all are going to help me impress her,” he chuckled to himself, his heart swelling with affection for the young woman who had so effortlessly brought warmth back into his life.
Meanwhile, inside the dining room, Oriana and Micah exchanged glances, both surprised by the unexpected dynamics unfolding before them. “Did you see that?” Micah said, his voice low and incredulous. “He actually listened to you. You made him try the food!”
Oriana’s cheeks flushed with delight. “I didn’t think he would! I just wanted to share something good with him.” Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she recalled the way Noah had smiled, a genuine warmth radiating from him. “It feels nice to see him enjoying the meal.”
Micah nodded, a hint of admiration creeping into his expression. “You have a way of bringing out the best in people, Oriana.” He paused, contemplating his own feelings. “I’ve never seen him so… relaxed.”
“Maybe it’s because he feels cared for,” Oriana suggested, her voice softening. “Everyone needs that sometimes, even someone like Mr. Caldwell.”
Micah glanced at her, a mixture of pride and protectiveness swelling within him. “You’re right. And he deserves it, especially after everything he’s been through.” He hesitated, then added, “I’m glad you’re here with me, Oriana.”
Their moment was interrupted when Albert returned to clear the table, his expression a mix of astonishment and admiration. “Mr. Caldwell has never been so… animated during lunch,” he remarked, shaking his head in disbelief. “It’s a sight to behold.”
“Well, let’s hope it continues,” Oriana replied, her smile unwavering. “I think he just needs a little more joy in his life.”
