Chapter 30 - A PERFECT SUMMER EVENING
On a warm, clear August evening, Thomas and Clara sat together on the outdoor stone terrace of their estate.
Fireflies glowed softly in the dark green grass while stars began to twinkle in the clear night sky above.
Ethan and Clara Rose ran across the lawn, chasing fireflies with glass jars and giggling merrily in the twilight.
Thomas wrapped a soft wool blanket around Clara's shoulders, pulling her close against his broad chest.
"I love you, Clara... more than life itself," Thomas whispered gently, kissing her dark hair.
"I love you too, Thomas... forever and always," Clara answered softly, resting her hand over his heart.
They sat together in comfortable, loving silence, watching their children play under the starry summer sky.
Their home was an impenetrable fortress of love, peace, and absolute security.
