Chapter 11 - The Princess's First New Year
On New Year's Eve, the Maine estate was transformed into a magical winter wonderland, decorated with glowing ice sculptures, silver ribbons, and thousands of twinkling fairy lights.
Lily wore a beautiful new white winter dress with shiny silver shoes, running around the spacious living room with a golden retriever puppy Dominic had gifted her for the holidays.
Elena wore an elegant dark green velvet evening gown, her hair cascading down her shoulders in soft waves, looking remarkably poised, regal, and beautiful.
Dominic stood by the massive stone fireplace, holding a glass of sparkling cider, watching Elena and Lily laugh together near the decorated holiday tree.
Lily ran over to Dominic, grabbing his hand and pulling him toward Elena. "Daddy, Miss Elena needs a hug too! She said she used to be cold in the cottage, but now she feels warm!"
Dominic smiled warmly, stepping forward and wrapping his broad arm around Elena's waist while lifting Lily into his other arm, bringing the three of them into a close, comfortable embrace.

"Nobody in this house will ever be cold or alone again," Dominic spoke softly, looking into Elena's warm brown eyes with deep, unshakeable gratitude.
