The sun traveled beyond the horizon, defeated by the armies of darkness. The time for return and farewell had come. They walked side by side among the trees shading the path to the café. The road was empty, the atmosphere enchanting, and a gentle breeze, damp with dew and the spray of the nearby river, wafted by. Nadia, lost in thought, sighed, the warmth of her breath touching the cool breeze... Samer then wrapped his arm around her waist comfortingly... and his gentle touches roamed... His touch soothed her, and she began to sway with coquetry and charm until his fingertips almost brushed her breasts. She relaxed in his embrace, extended her neck, and their lips met with desire and lust. It was the first kiss, witnessed by the trees and the rustle of their leaves.
