In love, everything was romantic and meaningful.
We met because of life drawing, and naturally, left behind many such artworks during our passionate moments. But now, Asher is using those tokens of our love to threaten me.
The next morning, after a sleepless night, Declan arrived and noticed my dark circles. He opened his mouth several times but said nothing in the end.
The journey was quiet again, but the atmosphere was different from yesterday. I was uneasy, and Declan was uneasy. The car passed by the marriage office but didn’t stop.
“Aren’t we getting the certificate?” Declan pursed his lips, “We’re going to take wedding photos first, then pick out the wedding dress.”
Exhaustion from the sleepless night overwhelmed me, and I didn’t question why he
changed the plan.
Upon arriving, Declan went to park the car. I just entered the store and saw Finn and
Adeline.
Adeline stood under the lights in a white wedding dress, smiling blissfully, “Asher, do I look good?” Finn, in a matching suit, stood opposite her, kissing her hand, “Beautiful.” I stood at a distance, clearly witnessing their sweet interaction.

Asher didn’t move. Just when I thought he might refuse, he spoke up, “Adeline, wait a little longer for me.”
Tears welled up in Adeline’s eyes. “Finn, I’ll wait for you, but you have to tell me how long.”
“Do you know how much it hurt me yesterday?”
They embraced tightly, while I stood there, feeling cold all over. Even though I had suspected their hidden relationship yesterday, hearing this made me think there was more to it.
