“Man, I bet it costs a lot with that much fireworks.”

“Could it be that another billionaire is proposing to a young commoner?”

“Pffi. You‘ve read too many of those cheesy stories.”

“I mean, who‘s to say? How do you explain the long firework display then?”

It wasn‘t until they squeezed through the crowd and back to the side of the road that their surroundings got a lot quieter.
