Her surroundings became blurry, and she could only see Ethan. The bustling noises faded away, and all she could hear was Ethan's voice.
"I've liked you a lot longer than you think."
A faint smile stretched across his lips, and he looked slightly nervous. Lily remained frozen and couldn't get any words out.
"For a very long time."
Her heart twisted inside her chest. This was because the sincerity in his voice had reached somewhere deep within her heart.
"So all that's left is to live our lives together for a very long time."
She couldn't tell if this was real or all a dream. The ground felt soft underneath her feet. The carols ringing in the air sounded like they were congratulating them.
In the end, Lily couldn't endure it any longer and ran into Ethan's arms. Ethan stroked Lily's back with warm hands and continued to speak.
"Stop making me suffer and come to me."
"..."
