on that long, sleepless night, the memory of the night before–when they had finally confessed their feelings–brought a wide, unshakable smile to Ethan’s face |
He couldn’t wait to get out of bed and see her. But when he opened the door, he was stunned to find Celia alcrandy Standing there, holding a bouquet of gardenias in her hands
Gardenias were the flower of eternal love and a lifetime of devutios. The moment the flour opencil, the fragrance of the blossoms swept in. Yet even the vibrant bloom paled in comparison to the smile on Celia’s face
“Ethan, good morning. I thought about everything last night. I know i cant reisen your love as fully or as quickly as you feel it for me, but now that I’ve decided to be with you, I’m going to give you all of myself–heart and soul ||
days ahead, we can walk hand in hand through the rest of our lives.“[]

Celia had rehearsed the words over and over. The moment than opened the door, she blurted everything she had been preparing since morning all out in a single breath.
When she finished, she looked down, growing shy and flustered as she waited for his response. But nothing come ]]
After a moment, she lifted her head to look at him. That was when she saw that Ethan, who was usually calm and composed, now had red–rimmed eyes. It seemed like he was on the verge of tears
- Celia was startled and tried to comfort him, but suddenly found herself a loss for words
Before she could say more. Ethan pulled her into his arms and uttered in a low, choked voice. “Giving flowers is supposed to be my job…[]
You did everything I wanted to do for you… What am I supposed to do now?
“Because I like you,” she whispered, I wanted to give you flowers. It doesn’t matter who gives them to whom
Standing there, seeing Cella holding fresh flowers just for him. Ethan felt like the moment wasn’t real Only when he held her tightly in his arms did the feeling finally begin to sink in.[]

This ancient, bustling city had already begun to hint at winter’s chill even before the now began to fall. The sky looked like it had bee curtain, dim and uppressive, cloaking everything in silence
Trees lining the streets trembled in the biting wind, their hare branches stark against the gloomy sky. Every now and then, a few withered leaves were swept up, spinning helplessly through the air before drifting slowly to the ground
As soon as Cella stepped out of the airport, the cold northern wind hit her full–on, sendinggoosebumps racing across her skin. Fortunately, it was only a short walk through the snow to reach shelter]
In truth. Cella had always enjoyed the snow. Growing up in the south, she still remembered the thrill of seeing her first snowfall during her frestunan year in Vista City.
It felt like the world suddenly fell into a bush, like someone had pressed a mute lation, leaving only the soft whisper of snowflakes falling. Lach flake had its nwn unique shape, dancing and swirling through the air, weaving together into a dreamy while curtain |
Snow covered the ground like a thick white blanket, it wrapped tree branches in shimmering silver, turning them into icy works of art it dusted rooftops, giving old buildings a solemn beauty, as if time itself had slapped into the past ||

Only those who had never
