It happens during one of their dates.

    ????

    A few days passed in a flash. Sunday arrived, and with it, they day off. Eager to spend some time together, she made her way to Noah''s room, secretly of course . After a cozy lunch, the couple decided to make the most of their free time and head out of the city for some adventure. They set their sights on the snowy mountains, where a fresh layer of powder had fallen, perfect for snow drifting.

    The drive out was scenic and calm, the winding roads lined with frost-covered trees shimmering in the daylight. As they neared the mountains, the landscape transformed into a winter wonderland, with towering peaks cloaked in snow and pine trees bending under the weight of ice.

    Once they reached a secluded spot, the couple unloaded their gear, their breaths clouding in the chilly air as they exchanged excited grins. He took the wheel first, easing the car onto the slick, snow-covered stretch, where he expertly navigated the turns, letting the car slide and drift smoothly across the icy surface. Lilith cheered him on, her soft laughter ringing out as they skidded around corners with exhilarating precision. The human like Lilith was beyond charming, smiling more often. Their growing relationship did her some wonders.

    After a few rounds, Lilth took a turn, gripping the wheel with determination. Noah encouraged her, offering tips as she tried her hand at snow drifting. She quickly got the hang of it, steering through the curves, her eyes sparkling with thrill as she matched Noah''s skill. Together, they drifted through the mountain pass, the world around them a blur of white as they moved in perfect rhythm with the snow.

    The meal was simple yet elegant, with tender bites of rabbit mixed with fluffy rice and lightly seasoned vegetables, creating a satisfying warmth perfect for a chilly night in the mountains. They shared the meal together, savoring each bite, enjoying both the flavors and the quiet companionship that came with it.

    After their dinner, the couple stepped outside the tent, wrapped in blankets, and found a soft patch of snow to sit on. Above them, the night sky stretched wide, filled with countless stars shimmering brightly in the deep blue expanse. Together, they gazed upward, tracing constellations and sharing stories, their voices soft in the silence of the mountain night. The stars seemed to shine just a bit brighter, casting a gentle light over the snow-covered landscape and making the night feel both infinite and intimate, a perfect moment shared between two kindred spirits.

    As the night deepened, they retreated into their tent, the warmth inside a stark contrast to the crisp mountain air outside. They lay together on the large, cozy bed, wrapped in each other''s embrace, feeling the quiet closeness that words couldn''t capture. The gentle rise and fall of their breathing fell into sync, creating a comforting rhythm as they held each other, the soft glow from the lanterns casting warm shadows over their intertwined forms.

    In the stillness, their feelings for each other began to blossom, a subtle yet undeniable warmth growing between them. Every gentle touch, every whispered word seemed to deepen their connection, unspoken emotions flowing like the soft hum of the night wind outside. They felt safe, seen, and understood in each other''s presence, a kind of bond that needed no declaration, only the quiet realization that they''d both found something precious.

    The night passed slowly and beautifully, each moment filled with a tender closeness that neither wanted to end.
