"Wow," I whispered, a hint of a smile tugging at my lips.

Junior was dressed in a black tuxedo. His broad shoulders and confident stance made him look like he had just stepped out of a fashion magazine. Together, we looked like the perfect pair.

Once everyone was ready, we gathered in the lounge, now transformed into a mini studio. The photographer directed us with precision, capturing moments of laughter and romance

Junior not only wasted my precious daughter's life waiting for him, but now what is this? You better make sure he gets in line.'"

Mr. Lee responded, "Don't worry, they won't get far. Rose will be my daughter-in-law. "The detective cleared his throat, sensing the tension escalating in the room.
