After bidding farewell to Alicia Carlisle, Forsythia Brown had only walked a block when she saw a familiar, upright figure standing ahead.
The man was formally dressed for his first day back at work in a custom-made suit.
Even as he stood there quietly, his bearing was no less captivating than any model catwalking down from a fashion magazine.
Every passerby, both men and women, turned for a second glance at the charming man.
Forsythia just stood still, watching from afar.
The man felt her gaze, turned his head and saw her, then started walking toward her.
The sunlight formed a halo-like glow around the man, reminiscent of an angel. It reminded Forsythia of a scene from "Ghost" when the male lead appears before the female protagonist in a similar manner.
For a moment, Forsythia was caught between the realms of fantasy and reality. Her heart was beating rapidly, and her breath had stalled.
"Gem Atkinson, I promise you, I will only show this vulnerability once."
