My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

He snickered before walking over to tidy my clothes up, pretending as if nothing had happened. He then solemnly promised, "Right then, I'll remind you loudly next time. We were recognized. It's not an eye- opening experience for you..."

"You!" My face flushed red with anger. Remind me loudly? That was clearly a public execution!

"Alright, let's go." Hendrix fixed his belt and held onto my face to kiss me on my forehead. With that, he led me to the stairs and said, "If we're any later, we won't even be able to leave through the back door." All I could do at the moment was to suppress my anger and follow him out of the building.

The good news was that we came out early enough before the crowd discovered the backdoor. After making our way through the crowd and veering through a few alleyways, Hendrix and I managed to blend into the crowd and successfully make our escape.

We watched a fire-breathing juggler perform and saw a vendor selling candied haws passing by, so I begged Hendrix to buy it for me.

In the past, when I watched soap operas to pass the time, I could feel the joy when the main characters shared the same stick of candied haws. Right then as we both had a stick of candied haws in hand, I could taste the best flavor in the world.

A long while later I would remember how the candied haws I had that night was the best I ever had, and that all other candied haws eaten after that never quite matched up to it. In the end, I discovered what conquered the taste buds were more than just the food itself. It included the state of mind and the environment at the present moment. There were not many occasions like this in a lifetime.

Hendrix teased me, saying, "Outsiders might think that I'm not feeding you if you say that."

"Isn't that what you do!" I remained defiant with my mouth stuffed.
