She turned to Harold and gushed, âHarold, you should take pictures of me and Waylen later.
Make sure you get a good one, okay? We have to make sure he looks so handsome that Rena will be dying to marry him!â
Heaning this, all the color drained from Haroldâs face.
Waylen, on the other hand, smiled even brighter.
âHmm⦠Speaking of Rena, I got her a ring today.
â
Later that night, Rena received a few messages from Waylen.
They were pictures and videos of the most beautiful fireworks.
In the courtyard of the Fowlers residence, Waylen had set off dozens of colorful fireworksâ¦
One video showed Cecilia jumping around Waylen with a sparkler.
She was laughing and smiling happily.
Waylen was also smiling brightlyâa smile so charming that Renaâs heart skipped a beat.
The alarm went off at midnight.
At 12 oâclock sharp, Rena received a call from Waylen.
His deep voice sounded from the other end of the line, saying, âIâve missed you, Rena.
â
Rena leaned against the window and stared out into the firework-filled skies.
âI miss you, too, Waylen.
â
The two chatted over the phone for a little while longer.

Rena could hear a familiar voice in the background.
It was clearly Haroldâs voice, but she didnât care.
There was no one else in her heart but Waylen.
At two oâclock in the morning, she finally climbed into bed and let Waylenâs voice accompany her to sleep.
Just as she was drifting off, Rena felt so content and happy.
A few days later.
As promised, Waylen came to pick up Rena.
Darren and Eloise had no qualms.
Rena got in the car and gently shrugged off her coat.
âWhere are we going?â
Waylen held the steering wheel with one hand and looked sideways at her.
Rena was wearing a red wool dress, showing her smooth, slender legs.
Waylen gulped.
âYou look good,â he complimented her ina hoarse voice.
Renaâs cheeks turned as red as tomatoes.
Waylen smiled at her shyness and held her hand without saying anything more.
The rest of the drive to his apartment was quiet.
When they arrived, Rena immediately went looking for the dog which they decided to name Snowball.
