Her playful demeanor was infectious, and I couldn't help but dance a little in the dimly lit room. Her trust was reassuring and filled me with relief.In a teasing tone, Cassandra added, "Just so you know, I am well-versed in kickboxing. If you were to try anything, you've been warned." Her words elicited a laugh from me, and I climbed into bed next to her, enfolding my arm around her waist. She did not resist, and I felt a sense of serenity settle over me."Goodnight, pretend husband," whispered Cassandra."Goodnight, pretend wife," I responded with a smile.

"What's up?"He stumbled over his words, his eyes glued to my hair.

"I don't think she'll be willing to talk to me right now," I expressed, feeling disheartened."She will," Alex assured me, offering a consoling pat on my back.As I gazed at the rose I had picked up from the bed, I mustered up my determination and approached Cassandra, who was sitting nearby. Surprisingly, I didn't feel awkward or cliché as I knelt in front of her and held out the rose."Would you like to go out with me?"

"She sounds like an incredible person," I remarked, beaming with a smile.Cassandra blushed with pride, her cheeks taking on a rosy hue. "Yes, she truly is," she replied warmly."Well, I need to run some errands. Why don't you get dressed so we can pay your mother a quick visit before our date?"

As she carefully unwrapped each gift, her excitement began to build. Inside were no less than twelve romance novels and painting books, along with an impressive set of paints and a variety of paintbrushes in different sizes. In addition, there were pencils, erasers, and sharpeners, as well as embroidery books and a selection of threads and needles, accompanied by cloths in a variety of colors.My mother was over the moon and could not contain her gratitude.

As I was mesmerized by Aladdin and Jasmine's magical carpet ride, the sound of a car pulling into the driveway interrupted me. My heart raced with excitement as I quickly composed myself and waited for Jasper's arrival.With bated breath, I watched the screen, savoring the duet of Aladdin and Jasmine while reminding myself to play it cool. Suddenly, the door creaked open, and I turned to see Jasper, who looked absolutely stunning. It was evident that he had gone the extra mile for me, shopping and dressing up in his best attire.He wore a sky-blue shirt that complemented the baby blue hue of his eyes, along with a black linen jacket and dark blue jeans.

Suddenly, a sweet melody reached my ears, and for a fleeting moment, I wondered if the fishes were singing. But soon enough, I recognized the familiar tune - "Grateful Hearts," a song I adored. Its lyrics resonated in my head, accompanying the music.As we wrapped up our dinner, Jasper extended his hand in a wordless invitation. Excitedly, I took his hand, and we began to sway to the music.

"Here you go. Is there anything else you need?""No, this is perfect. Thank you," I said gratefully.He smiled and bid us goodnight before heading back to his room.Cassandra and I took turns using the bathroom and changing into our night clothes before settling down in the spare room. In the darkness, I listened to her breathing and noticed that she seemed restless and couldn't get comfortable."Sandy, what's wrong?" I asked."It's nothing, it just takes me a while to get used to a new bed," she replied with a sigh.I couldn't help but wonder if she was upset about the unexpected interruption or if she was just genuinely having trouble sleeping. As I lay there, I found myself getting lost in my thoughts, analyzing all the different scenarios that could play out between us.Eventually, I sat up abruptly, unable to bear the restlessness any longer.
