"Gregor!"
"Zenna!"
Their voices overlapped as they called out to each other, eyes lighting up the moment they spotted one another. Without hesitation, they closed the distance between them, their excitement evident in their tones.
"Aster," Gregor said, turning to his mate with a fond smile. "This is Zenna, my childhood friend." Then, shifting his gaze to Zenna, he added, "And Zenna, this is my mate, Aster Westwood."
Zenna beamed warmly as she extended her arms, and Aster responded in kind, embracing her in a friendly hug.
"It's so wonderful to meet you, Aster!" Zenna said, stepping back to take in Aster's features. Her gaze lingered on her hazel eyes, and she couldn't help but admire them. "You have such stunning eyes."
Aster smiled, touched by the compliment. "Thank you, Zenna. And I must say, you're just as beautiful as your name suggests."
"Thank you. Please, take your seats," Zenna said warmly, gesturing toward the chairs.
