Chapter 41: 40 | Happy for you

40 | Happy for you

Kim | Caden

❝You're finally back! What did I say about staying out late?❞

❝Sorry, mum. Guess what happened!❞

❝What?❞

❝Trev took me to the beach!❞

❝While you're dressed like that?❞

❝Well, yes, but we stayed in the car.❞

❝What happened after that?❞

❝He had this firework show planned! Could you believe that? I felt like a princess.❞

❝That must've been nice.❞

❝Yes! And he gifted me... this!❞

❝Why a glass slipper?❞

❝He looked at me so seriously and said this.❞

❝Yeah?❞

❝Because I've found my Cinderella.❞

❝...❞

❝Isn't that so romantic!❞

❝...❞

❝Oh my gosh, I can't believe this is happening to me.❞

❝Are you happy?❞

❝Of course, I am! I've never been this happy.❞

❝That- That's great. I'm happy for you.❞

❝Thanks!❞

❝So... you're dating him?❞

❝Of course not! We've decided to take things slowly. I'm really excited though. I have a good feeling about this.❞

❝That's nice.❞

❝You don't look very happy, Caden. What's wrong?❞

❝Don't worry about it. I'm just glad to see you this happy. It's been a long time since I last saw that smile.❞

❝Caden...❞

❝Hey, don't look at me like that.❞

❝Can I hug you?❞

❝I'm right here.❞

❝Thank you, Caden. Thank you for everything. You know I love you, right?❞

❝Trust me, I love you more.❞
