"It has a high-tech security system, a gated community, and a twenty-four-hour patrol," Cole listed off the specs, his businessman persona momentarily shielding his vulnerability.

He called out to his loyal men, a group of trusted friends and staff members, instructing them with a warm and confident voice, "Let's set up the canopy right here, under the oak tree. Make sure it's beautifully adorned with flowers and drapes, creating a magical atmosphere for Elena and me." The men, all too eager to contribute to this special day, swiftly got to work, transforming the area under the oak tree into a fairytale-like wedding setting. They adorned the canopy with cascading flowers of various hues, adding an ethereal touch to the surroundings.

In the dappled sunlight, the tree seemed to possess an aura of wisdom and ancient knowledge. Roberick and Cynthia approached the oak tree, feeling an inexplicable sense of reverence. It was as if this tree held the secrets of ages, the accumulated wisdom of the world, and the power to transcend time. As they stood before the ancient oak, a soft voice, like the whisper of the wind, emanated from the tree.

he backed up and took hold of my hand to lead me away. We left the concentration of tents and came to a lonely old oak tree seated in a field.
