*Flashback*
Edwin lay on his bed in his private chamber with the brown cloth in his hand. He held it close to his chest while his other hand remained tucked under his head.
He could not hold back the smile on his face. He had never experienced something like this before in his entire existence. The excitement he felt was intoxicating for his senses.
After smiling for hours after Ruth left, he felt a slight ache in his cheeks. He had never smiled that much before, and it felt new to him.
Edwin was cent per cent sure that she would wear those earrings tomorrow. He could tell that the way her eyes spoke the truth.
Edwin could not wait for the night to pass and the morning to arrive.
Edwin's smile faltered when he heard urgent knocks on his door. He checked the time to see it was early in the dawn.
Who it might be at such an odd hour?
Edwin put the brown cloth in its wooden box and opened the door to see an annoyed Lester.
