Seconds ticked by, and the surrounding tourists were all rubbernecking, eager for a spectacle.
"Looks like their connections aren't cutting it."
"Think about it, that kind of prspot isn't just for anyone! After all, it's a famed landmark in the country!"
"I bet she's just sordinary heiress, way out of her league!"
Serena could feel her anxiety mounting as she listened to their whispers. She turned to Martin, "Well. What's the word?"
Martin was still waiting for his dad's text. Today was his grandpa’s birthday, and his Dad was probably busy keeping his grandpa
company, not checking his phone.
He himself had almost forgotten his grandpa's birthday. Thankfully, he had the present ready. He'd drop it off later, along with an
apology.

He wouldn't make dinner, though. Serena had agreed to eat with him, and that was a rare treat.
"Just a little longer,” Martin said soothingly.
Serena was irked. If this was Romeo, his presence alone would've swung the doors wide open. In the end, it was Martin's lack of
clout that was embarrassing.
He couldn't even book a venue without causing her to be the butt of jokes!
After what felt like an eternity, she decided it might be tto call in Uncle Bard to turn the tables—anything was better than being
mocked by this crowd!
As she stewed over this, Serena couldn't help but silently rebuke Martin for making her resort to asking Uncle Bard for help. Utterly
useless!
Just as she was about to pull out her phone, Martin's buzzed with a message from his father, who had already squared things away.
Martin smiled at her, “Serena, we can go up soon"
“For real? You managed to book it?" Serena wrapped him in a hug, her mood instantly lifting. "How much longer do we have to
wait?"
“Just until the current guests clear out, and then it's all ours."
“I'm gonna want to stay up there for a while then!"
She raised her voice purposefully with that last remark, causing the tourists around them to groan inwardly.
How long would it be before they could ascend now?
Serena couldn't have felt prouder, and for once, she looked at Martin with genuine affection.
At the summit.
Romeo wrapped his arms around Arabella from behind, both of them gazing down at the sprawling Oakridge City below.
How he wished he could freeze this moment in time.
“Bella,” Romeo's voice was tender and magnetic, “do you like Dawnstar?"

“Are we talking a fleeting fondness, or the settle-down-and-stay kind of like?” Arabella played along, still captivated by the view. "If
it's the latter. I'd rather build our life back home."
“Then that's where we'll be,” Romeo said indulgently. “Wherever you want to live, I'll follow. If you wish to disappear, we'll retreat
to the heart of the wilderness. If you want to make your mark, I'll be by your side, through thick and thin."
Arabella turned, her smile light, “And what if I'm just hungry?"
Romeo chuckled, his hand instinctively finding her stomach, "What about sgourmet food?"
"Perfect."
When the two of them hand in hand stepped out of the elevator back on the first floor, everyone was stunned.
"Doesn't that guy look just like Romeo?"
"Kinda does, is it really him? He's even more handsthan in the pictures online!"
“Who's that girl with him? She's gorgeous!"
“Was it them who booked the whole place? Did Romeo do that for her?”
