They reached her home quite late. It was almost 9.00 pm when they arrived in the neighbourhood.
She, of course, slept on the way and he put on romantic music to accompany her in her slumber. He made sure to be as quiet as possible so not to disturb her sleep. Even the music was playing so soft, it was barely heard.
When the car came to a stop, he shut the engine off and let out a sigh of relief. Today was a long day. Of course, he was happy to be with her but as the night getting late, the exhaustion hit him hard.
He guessed he was getting older.
He turned to look at the Sleeping Beauty beside her and smiled. Growing old together with her would be his wish. He would do everything to be with her.
His hand reached for hers and kissed it gently. His eyes landed on her ring finger and wished he could put a ring on it. But his grandmother already warned him to follow the plan. In order to realize his dream, he must be patient.
