Ao Haru Ride Ending Novels & Stories

I’m just waiting for him to say the magic word, and I’ll be alright. But it’s Vince we’re talking about. The word “sorry” is not part of his vocabulary. I glanced at the couple sitting across from us. I smiled as I saw Hiro feeding Reiri, her mouth wide open with excitement. I knew she was happy now because she could move freely. “Do you still want some? I can buy you more,” Hiro asked when he noticed her plate was empty. Rei shook her head. “No, I’m full already. Besides, I’m excited to ride more attractions!” she said, and Hiro just patted her head.

God, I could feel the unhappy vibe emanating from him and wondered what was bothering him. His eyes on me, he said, “Enough about this bar job. Are you done, Haru? Let’s go. And I’m picking you up tonight after work. No argument.” I could only stare at him, flabbergasted. Reo chuckled. “Give it up already, Haru. Just let him drive you, otherwise Daddy Aiden will be worried sick.” I sighed in resignation and then got up from my seat.

The pounding in my ears faded, and the room slowly came back into focus. "There you go," Gloria whispered. "I've got you." The last bit of strength left my body. My body sagged forward, completely exhausted. Gloria caught me before I could slide off the bed and wrapped her arms around me. "It's okay."

She was beaming, her eyes full of dreams for the future. "Let's have a destination wedding, alright? We'll get married in Southpoint, then have another ceremony in Eastwind. I heard the Lumians are very romantic, too… What about having another ceremony in the Lumian capital of Lumiere? I want to wear lots and lots of beautiful wedding dresses and take all kinds of wedding photos, fill up a whole wall with them…" Zach just looked at her, his eyes emotionless. "Annie's dead."
