Chapter <b>144 </b>
After taking pictures, Sean and Charlotte decided to build a snowman in the courtyard.
Charlotte carefully shaped a cute, chubby snowman that stood about half her height. She added a red scarf and a little red hat, then used a soft peach–toned lipstick to dab <b>rosy </b>blush on the snowman’s cheeks.
Sean chuckled.
<b>“</b>That little rosy face is so cute–just like yours<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Charlotteughed.
“Of course! This is my little snow baby.”
Once they finished, Charlotte brushed the snow off her gloves and looked at the snowman with a satisfied smile.
“Let’s give it a name.”
“Good idea.” Sean’s lips curved into a warm smile.
“Let’s call it Candy–like the sweet. It even kind <b>of </b>sounds like ‘Lottie,‘ just like your name.”
Charlotte’s eyes lit up.
<b>“</b><b>I </b>love it! Candy it is.“–
“Come on, let’s take a family photo,” Sean suggested, his voice warm.
<b>“</b>Great idea.” Charlotte picked up the camera.
<b>“</b>I’ll ask someone to take it for us<b>.</b><b>” </b>
She walked over to the young couple still building their own snowman and approached thedy with a friendly smile.
<b>“</b>Hi, would you mind helping us take a picture?”
“Sure!” Thedy <b>epted </b>the camera, then hesitated.
“But I’m not very familiar with these settings<b>…</b>”
Charlotte leaned in <b>to </b>show her.
“No worries<b>, </b>I’ve already <b>set </b>the parameters. Just <b>press </b>this button<b>.</b><b>” </b>
“Oh, got it!”
“Thank you so much.”
“No problem<b>.</b>” Thedy leaned in a bit, whispering with a grin.
“By the way<b>, </b>you and your boyfriend are so good–looking! Are you guys influencers?”
Charlotteughed, shaking her head.
“No<b>, </b><b>but </b>thank you<b>. </b>You’re really pretty too.”
After taking their photos, Charlotte and Sean decided to visit a popr local spot- -a charming, traditional inn known for its stunning view.
The inn’s third floor had a beautifully carved wooden window, and opening it revealed a breathtaking view of the distant snow–capped mountains. It was the perfect spot for photos, <b>a </b>must–visit location for anyone exploring the town.
The ce had gone viral online a while back, and Charlotte had always wanted toe. She had even nned a trip back then,plete with a detailed itinerary that included this very <b>inn</b><b>. </b>
But at the time<b>, </b>Zac had refused to go with her.
Honestly<b>, </b>when it came to ruining the mood, Zac never failed to deliver.
There’s nothing special about standing by a window to look at some mountains. When <b>I </b><b>take </b>you to Swennd, you’ll see real mountains worth photographing ”
His dismissive attitude had crushed her excitement. After that, she had gotten busy with work, and the idea of visiting the town eventually slipped <b>away </b>
<b>But </b>now<b>, </b>two yearster<b>, </b>she was finally here with Sean
<b>A </b><b>cold </b>breeze swept by, and Charlotte shivered slightly<b>, </b>letting out a small sneeze.
“Are <b>you </b><b>cold</b>?<b>” </b>Sean immediately reached <b>over</b><b>, </b>lifting the hood of her puffer jacket and gently pulling it over her <b>head</b>.
<b>“</b><b>Keep </b>your hood on. <b>It’ll </b>block the wind.”
“But I want to take picturester, and the hood doesn’t look good in photos<b>.</b><b>” </b>
<b>“</b>Then you can take it off when we’re taking pictures. But right now, <b>it’s </b>windy. Be good.”
“Fine.” Charlotte looked up at him.
“What about you? Are you cold?”
Sean grinned.
“A kiss would warm me right up.”
“So you’re not cold.”
<b>“</b><b>Not </b>cold, but I still want a kiss<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Charlotte rolled her eyes,ughing softly. Sean, who was usually soposed and aloof around others<b>, </b>was surprisingly clingy and yful with her.
Like right now, from the look on his face<b>, </b>it was clear he wasn’t moving until he got his <b>kiss</b><b>. </b>
With a sigh and a smile, Charlotte stood on her tiptoes and leaned in to kiss him.
But with Sean standing nearly <b>six</b>–foot–three<b>, </b>she barely reached his chin. Even on her tiptoes, she couldn’t quite reach <b>his </b>lips<b>. </b>
