Her heart skipped. "Is this one of Ethan's friends?" She asked herself. “Might be a coincidence. Maybe a name sake.” She dropped the phone and took up the book once more.

She replied sarcastically, with that deadpan face Jax recognized because he has the same expression when he’s annoyed. To cover his frustration, Jax muttered a swear under his breath and then put a timid smile on his face, nodding yes to whatever his sister had planned. When he looked about, he had to squint because his attention landed on the banned on his left. ‘Speed dating!’ read the words, and as if heaven and hell had descended on him, Jax realized what was going on: his sister had set him up. The line is long, composed of both girls and boys, and he’s obliged to date them right now. “Am I that hopeless?” he wondered aloud, emphasizing the word ‘that.’

"Victor, I've been looking for you everywhere. As the alumni representative, you need to give a speech on stage." He followed the administrator but kept looking back at me. I thought today's chaos was over after that he went away. But before I could even breathe a sigh of relief, Victor publicly presented a diamond ring. "Back then, you said you wanted to use 'Wild Roses' to make me a wedding ring. Now it's my turn to propose. Claire Webb, will you marry me?"

I twisted the wedding ring on my left hand and calmly watched Victor walk down from the stage, step by step toward me.

He was about to press my number, trying to break the strange silence of these past days, when suddenly, a conversation in the hospital corridor caught his attention. Two nurses hurried past, talking about something. Their voices weren’t loud, but every word clearly reached Mike’s ears.

Xara suggested after they had taken countless pictures with a whole lot of people. Out of nowhere, Lorenzo quickly and gently pushed Xara onto the ground as her friends followed their movement. A gunshot sounded in the air as the bullet missed Xara by the hair and got stuck in a tree. “Sorry for taking you unawares." Lorenzo briefly apologized and dashed off after the masked assassin.

I put my arms crossed at my chest and he grinned at me. "What are we doing here?" My voice came out a little higher than it is supposed to be and then he just kissed me. I hit my back, hard at the wall as he pushes me, never breaking the kiss. I didn't feel the pain though but a loud groan escaped my throat as our tongue clashed under the cascading waters.
