Without waiting for her to argue, he took her hand and led her away.
Moments later... he presented something unexpected.
A bowl of steaming ramen.
The rich aroma filled the air instantly, warm and comforting, carrying hints of broth, spices, and freshly cooked noodles.
Ivy's eyes lit up.
'Ramen…' she thought, almost unable to hide her delight. She had been craving it for so long.
She looked at Silas in surprise. "How did you..."
He simply smiled.
Even he did not fully understand why he had made it. It was just a feeling, an instinct that told him she would want it.
Neither of them realized that the soulmate crystal they had taken earlier had deepened their connection far beyond what they understood.
Ivy began eating. One bowl. Then another.
Each bite brought visible satisfaction, her earlier exhaustion melting away.
Silas silently brought her a third bowl.
And when he returned with a fourth... Ivy quickly raised her hand, laughing lightly.
