"It's nice." Rick murmurs, his gaze fixed not on the opulence around them, but on the woman beside him. They stand within the White Lotus villa in Thailand, a sanctuary of understated luxury. Polished teak floors gleam under soft lantern light, while silk-draped canopies sway gently. The open-plan living area spills onto a spacious terrace, where a private daybed awaits. The gentle hum of the sea breeze mingles with the scent of refined serenity. Despite their jet lag, the atmosphere is thick with tranquility, yet Rick’s eyes only find one thing: the prettiest sight he has ever seen.
