Eight Months Later

❝Do you really have to leave?❞

❝I'm sorry.❞

❝I'll miss you.❞

❝Me too.❞

❝Hey, lovebirds. Time to say goodbye.❞

❝Caden! Give us our moment of peace.❞

❝Ouch. Trev, what have you done to her?❞

❝I don't know.❞

❝I'll miss you.❞

❝I'll miss you even more.❞

❝Take care, okay? I'll wait for you.❞

❝You too. Don't fall sick. I might have to fly back if you do.❞

❝I should fall sick then.❞

❝Hey.❞

❝Okay, okay. I won't.❞

❝Don't cry.❞

❝I won't.❞

❝Caden, could I talk to you for a minute?❞

❝Sure. Kim?❞

❝Fine. I'll wait at the side.❞

❝Please take care of her.❞

❝I've been doing that way before you showed up.❞

❝I know you're upset with me, but we both want what's best for her.❞

❝Yeah, don't worry.❞

❝Thank you.❞

❝Since you two aren't married yet, I still stand a chance, technically.❞

❝What?❞

❝I'm just saying, okay? I might have to take her away if you keep her waiting.❞

❝I'll be back in two years, Caden. And I will marry her.❞

❝That's a huge promise.❞

❝I mean it.❞

❝Okay, dude, I lose. You take care, okay? I'll keep her safe until you're back.❞

❝Thank you. Kim?❞

❝Yeah?❞

❝Wait for me.❞

❝I will.❞

❝I love you.❞
