60 Was she expecting to die?
He is worth the risk.
Oliver was in shock for a few seconds.
This is the first time Kyra was taking initiative to spend time with him.
He could clearly see right through her as he was about to ask her the same, with the same intention in mind.
Though Daniel hinted to him that Kyra might not be harboring any special feelings towards him, Oliver didn't want to believe it. There was an internal battle going on in his head for a couple of days.
But, he decided to give it a chance after coming here and talking to her now.
He couldn't ignore all the feelings he experienced now.
The happiness of seeing her, the excitement while talking to her, the desire to spend more time with her, the liviliness she brings into his life and especially the familiarity and comfort he has around her…
Their chemistry was hard to ignore.
He simply doesn't have words to describe his feelings now. She is like a magic in his life.
"It's my honor to help you.", Oliver said in his deep voice, looking right into her eyes. The intense emotions in his eyes were so obvious…
Kyra held her breath, staring right into his deep eyes. Only now has she realized how close they were sitting. She could feel his hot breath which made her heartbeat erratic.
His hand which was resting on his lap slowly made its way to her hand. Though the sudden coldness of his hand made her flinch, Kyra didn't break their eye contact.
With the influence of the surroundings - the starry night, the cold breeze, the golden warm lights, the aroma from the candles, the gentle rustling of leaves and the chirping of birds, they moved closer, their lips only a few inches apart.
"Guys, your -", Sofia stopped in tracks, realizing that she came at the wrong time. Just by seeing them, she could tell what was about to happen.
"Uhmm.. I will come later. Continue please," she hurriedly said before running away.
Only then, Oliver and Kyra realized what they were about to do. Blame their poor control over their emotions, neither of them were in their clear mind.
They immediately moved apart. Kyra's cheeks reddened and so did Oliver's ears. Though they had situations like this in the past, this is the first time they got caught by others.
"I… I was told that twins are here with you. Wh...where are they?" Oliver asked, hiding his embarrassment.
He got vexed, scolding himself for losing his control, so he decided not to do that anymore.
He could only cave in…
"They went inside just before you came." Kyra said, tucking her hair beneath her ear while avoiding his gaze.

"I told you not to let anyone go, right?" asked Addison, the twin sister complained to her twin brother Aiden.
"I was in charge of keeping uncle Ryan busy. You were in charge of aunt Sofia." Aiden said to Addison.
"Aunt said she would go to the washroom. I didn't expect her to spy on our uncle Oli and Aunt Ky." Addison told her brother.
They are trying their best to matchmake their favourite aunt and uncle by creating situations to make them meet.
The hiking, this night meeting…
"They were about to kiss but aunt Sofi disturbed them." Addison pouted.
She and her brother Aiden were with their aunt Kyra but after getting a text message from their grandfather that their uncle Oliver had reached, they made an excuse and left.
They wanted to give some privacy to their aunt and uncle.
"That means they like each other right?" Aiden asked. His mother once told him that people only kiss the ones whom they love.
It was because he kissed a girl just because she looked cute.
"Of course. But, just like mom said, our uncle Oli and Aunt Ky are shy to express. Only when they spend time together will they be able to express" Addison said.
Their mother used to say that spending time together will make them fond of each other.
And, one of her last wishes was to see Oliver and Kyra together.
In the diary she wrote her last wishes and her kids found it in their book shelf, mixed in their bedtime storybooks.
Those last wishes were directed to them, her twins, Addison and Aiden.
She even mentioned not telling their father about this book. The one thing that is suspicious is, why did she write her last wishes?
Was she expecting to die?
And, why did she emphasise so much on Oliver and Kyra and even asked to keep it as secret.
