While they were enjoying their brunch, Elizabeth questions them about their conversation earlier out of curiosity. “Well, I’m going out on a date this Friday night,” Conrad answered nervously. “And Mike gave me some tips to prepare myself…” “That’s great!” Elizabeth said excitingly. “With Jaiden?” She asked. “I know you two were made for each other,” She said. “Wait, who’s Jaiden?” Mike asked out of confusion. “I thought you were going out with a girl named Olivia,” “He shared his first kiss with her,” Elizabeth answered, leaving Mike surprised by the thought that Conrad is going to date someone else. “But, who’s Olivia?” She asked. “She’s the girl I’m dating this Friday night,” Conrad answered. “We met at culinary school…” “Did something happen between you and Jaiden?” Elizabeth asked. “Nothing happened between us,” Conrad said. “I just thought that maybe it’s better if we stayed as friends.” He continued. “That way we could s

After opening the package, Conrad couldn’t stop thinking about the contents of the journal. He knew it was something he wasn’t prepared for but still wanted to see what was written in it, and find out the reason behind his sudden disappearance and the key that he left. He decided to dial his mother to see if she has something in mind. “Hi, honey.” Elizabeth greeted as she answered the call. “So, what did your father give you this time?” She asked curiously. “Well, folklore by Taylor Swift merchandise, a journal with a key tied to it, and two envelopes for each of us,” Conrad answered. “That’s thoughtful of him, I guess,” Elizabeth said unsurely. “Sorry, I got bothered when you said about a journal with a key tied to it and two envelopes for both of us. Did you see its contents though?” “No, and I was about to ask you about the key. If you have any idea what it’s for.” “Can you show it to me?” “Sure thing. I’ll send you the picture. Han

Conrad was relieved when they arrived at a nearby café that wasn't overcrowded. Going to crowded places makes him nervous. He believes he is being judged by strangers, despite the lack of clear proof that they are. Let's just say that when he's depressed, he tends to avoid going to crowded places.Conrad smelled something aromatic as soon as they stepped inside. It wasn’t the freshly made pastries that the employees are putting inside the case nor the freshly brewed coffee. He takes a look around to see where the fragrant scent is coming from. Then he noticed one of the employees making fresh crepes in front of the customer on the same counter as the coffee machines. However, just in front of the pan, the counter has a glass divider. Perhaps the cafe's manager or owner decided to install a divider to protect customers from injury.Alfred then told him that this is his favorite place in New York. The reason is that the crepes they made give him a warm feeli

Back at the apartment, Conrad was lying down on his bed. After today’s events, he couldn’t stop thinking about it. It got stuck to his mind like sticky notes on a book. However, even though Olivia was acting a bit weird today, he didn’t realize during those moments that she was turning head over heels over him. He asked himself full of hope, “Is she the right person that will fit my future life?” But then, Jaiden suddenly pops into his head out of nowhere. He knew that Jaiden is also the right person, but he was having second thoughts wherein maybe having a long-distance relationship won’t work between them. They might be great for each other, but there will come a time when you will find someone else, and sooner or later, you’ll love that person more than the one you loved first. Alfred knocks on the door as he enters Conrad’s room and stands by the doorway. “Hey, you’ve been quiet for the past couple of hours… You okay?” Alfred said in a worried tone. “Yeah, it’s just that… I’ve

The stars and moon shone brightly in the night sky, creating a lovely atmosphere. The couple was walking through the park, hands clasped and a smile on their cheeks.This hasn't transpired in New York since the couple met. The universe seemed to want them to meet and be together. Nothing went wrong on their date, and they intuitively felt like they could face the universe's challenges together.Walking along the park, they came across a huge fountain that seemed like where all the couples hang out. Some are throwing coins into the fountain wishing their love would last, some are sharing an ice cream cone by the side, and some just happened to make their relationship official.Looking around for a place to hang out, an outdoor cafe caught Conrad’s eye.“Want to hang out here for a while?” Conrad asked.“You go on ahead. I think I’m just going over the fountain.” She walked on over there immediately with a bothered look, leaving Conrad behind.Conrad noticed her troubled expression and
