Romeo flashed a reassuring grin. "Don't worry, Clark. The only person who can ditch me in this lifetime is Rose."
"What are you talking about? You're making my sister sound like some heartbreaker!"
At the end of the clear glass walkway, they stood side by side in a huge heart-shaped structure, chatting and laughing as they admired the distant scenery.
That evening, as Romeo dropped the siblings off at the Reflections Villa, he noticed a Rolls-Royce parked at the entrance.
'There must be guests.'
"I guess I should leave then. Don't want to intrude on your folks," Romeo addressed Rose before him with a tender smile. "Get some rest."
"Sure, drive safe."
"Will do."
Witnessing their reluctance to say goodbye, Clark suddenly felt like a third wheel.
Inside the villa, Louisa greeted the young woman with a beaming smile. "Crystal, you look even prettier than the last time I saw you."
