I was excited about attending the event as Serina's date.
It was our first date, and I didn't want to disappoint her.
Sure, maybe I went overboard with the size of the bouquet, but no amount of flowers is enough for my Goddess.
I spent seven years away from Serina, working on accumulating wealth and building connections so that I can provide for her, and now that she is finally in front of me, there is no such thing as going overboard for Serina.
For the last five days, I was counting minutes.
The video calls were soothing my impatience, but with limited results as every cell in my body was screaming for Serina's proximity and I buried myself in work as a distraction, like many times before.
