Lex tightened his grip around Nina's hand, a radiant smile spreading across his face.
The happiness in his eyes was impossible to hide.
After everything they had been through, he finally felt as though things were moving in the right direction. This time, no matter what happened, he had no intention of letting go.
Even death itself would not make him release her hand.
The following day, Lani brought Nina to inspect the stretch of land along the eastern coast.
The group spent the entire day exploring the area and evaluating its potential. The more they saw, the more convinced they became that it was the perfect location for White Sand City's future.

The scenery was more beautiful, the resources were more abundant, and the surrounding terrain offered plenty of room for future growth. The nearby coastline would also provide valuable opportunities for trade and transportation.
