Eventually, they returned to the elevator and ascended back to the surface. The sun was high now, casting golden rays across the water. The city of Vellamo gleamed in the distance, its buildings rising like a dream.
They boarded the glass-bottom boat and sailed back to the city.
After returning to the hotel, they took a break in their suite, the pendant resting on the bedside table. They sat on the balcony, watching the city below, the sea stretching to the horizon.
"Today was incredible," Lilith said softly.
"It was," Gabriel agreed. "And we have so much more to discover."
She leaned against him, her head resting on his shoulder. "I love you, Gabriel."
He pressed a kiss to her hair. "I love you too, Lilith. Always."
The sun continued its slow descent, the city of Vellamo shimmering below them, truly beautiful sight to behold.
The mood between the couple was sensual, they couldn't hide their desire for each other any longer so they began to kiss.
