Her heart leaped as she recognized Callum's voice, the familiar warmth in his tone chasing away the cold despair that had settled in her chest. She shot up from her makeshift straw bed, her movements quick and eager, a grin spreading across her face as she rushed to the bars. When she saw him there, her smile widened, stretching from ear to ear. The sight of him, standing just beyond her reach, brought an unexpected surge of relief. As he began to remove his shoes, a small, amused smile tugged at her lips, but she bit it back. She watched intently as he sat down in front of the bars, his presence a much-needed comfort in the bleakness of her surroundings. Her eyes followed his every move as he started to smash the wine bottle against the stone wall, using his shoe to muffle the noise. Each strike echoed in the small space, a sharp contrast to the stillness of the dungeon.[color=slateblue] “I didn’t think you would be allowed down here… I…” [/color] Her voice faltered, the words caught in her throat as she struggled to express the mix of surprise and gratitude she felt.[color=slateblue] “Thank you…” [/color] she whispered, her voice barely audible as she accepted the bottle of wine he passed through the bars. Ariella’s hands wrapped around the cool glass. She lifted the bottle to her lips, taking a long, appreciative drink. The wine was a welcome distraction, its rich, warm flavor washing over her tongue and spreading through her body like a comforting hug. [color=slateblue]“Ahh…” [/color]she breathed as she swallowed her first sip, the tension in her shoulders easing just a little.[color=slateblue] “Just what I needed,” [/color] she murmured, a genuine smile curving her lips. She leaned against the bars, her eyes locking with Callum’s as she teased, [color=slateblue]“My schedule was a little busy, but I can always make some time for you.” [/color] There was a lightness in her tone. As she took another sip of the wine, Ariella's gaze softened. [color=slateblue]“Cards and secrets,”[/color] she whispered, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial tone as she glanced around the dungeon, aware of the prying ears that might be lurking in the shadows.[color=slateblue] “I don’t think I could think of a better way to spend my night in the cells.”[/color][/color]
