I was in the kitchen making dinner when I suddenly felt a presence behind me.

Before I could turn, Lucas sneaked up on me and in my surprise, the knife I was holding pierced a little into my skin.

A glance at it showed 20 missed calls from mom and a message that read“Come home now!”Ethan let out a small smirk and muttered“She also called you right?” I checked and saw 40 missed calls from momI turned to Ethan and gave a quiet nod. Ethan immediately started driving like Catherine’s call was an emergencyThe day before flickered in my memory. It seemed like we went to another world“Another interesting world” I thought to myself and suddenly we were back to the world I recognize In that moment, I felt Ethan’s warm finger brush my hand and jolted me out of my thought“Are you okay?” He askedI nodded with a smile“Just like Mom, you can go see them whenever you likeWe arrived at the mansion to find Catherine already at the entrance awaiting our return “Where have you two been?” She asked“We went to see them”“You finally decided to go see them and thank goodness you took Avery with you.

    The fishing spree morphed into a friendly tournament, with the women on my side and the men on Ethan’s side, turning it into a playful competition.Surprisingly, Ethan employed the technique I had taught him and began catching more fishes than I did. A grin spread across his face as each catch meant an extra point for himWith every fish he reeled in, cheers erupted from themI found myself pouting a bit. Although it was a competition but I still wanted to winAt that moment, I caught Stone watching and then leaned toward Ethan and whispered something I couldn’t quite grasp from a distanceSoon the tide turned and I began catching more fishes. My pout slowly faded as they cheered meEthan smiled even more as he saw my excited face. Later, we gathered around the fire place.

    Ethan’s eyes lit up as the little ones began tripping out“Hey…” Ethan blurted out between laughtersThey clustered around Ethan chattering in tiny voices as they begged to be carried One after the other, they called out“Ethan, carry me” lifting their tiny hands up and Ethan gracefully carried each of them in his arms, turning himself into a giant for the miniature. “Wow, wait! Little man” Ethan said as he watched them line up again for their turns“Sorry boss Ethan. It’s not every time we get to be lifted up by giants like you. The last time Micheal came, he looked so worried that we couldn’t ask him to lift us up”Ethan glanced towards the others and asked“How about Lucas?”A female in their midst chimed in“Yahhhh, Lucas do lift us up but he stopped coming when Lenet asked him to marry her” Ethan erupted in a loud laughter“Speaking of lenet, where is she” he asked, scanning around“Oh, she went to the farm to pick up some foods for lunch” someone replied “Missi just had a ba

    I stepped out of the bathroom to find a box wrapped with red ribbon, waiting in the soft glow of the room. A crease formed in my brow as I wondered what Ethan had planned and the anticipation made my heart beat. I reached for the box, pulled out the ribbon and opened it to reveal a necklace. It looks like the kind of necklace people save up for a life time to buyI gasped as I pulled my hand through it A voice murmured from behind“Do you like it?” I turned, meeting Ethan's eyes and a surge of happy tears welled up my eyes. Ethan stepped forward with flowers in his hands and a warm smile as he looked at my flushed face “If you don't like it, I can get something else for you” he added with a playful smirkI dropped the gift on the bed and and pulled Ethan into a tight hugAfter a while, Ethan quipped“You know, if you choke me, you won't have a husband anymore”I pulled away, tears glistening my eyes as I whispered “I'm sorry Ethan”Ethan smirked and handed the flower to meI t

I remembered the night I spent here to escape the tension at home A middle aged woman greeted us at the door way “Welcome, miss Catherine, Lucas and ….” She said, looking at me.
