Upon arriving, I realize that nobody else is around. He takes his hand in mine as we walk from the parking lot to the beach entrance. I sigh in relief when I notice a wooden path, knowing I won't have to struggle while walking with my cast on. "Why is there nobody around?" I ask Silas as I look around me again. "Because I booked the whole place for us," he sheepishly says. "I want you to have a nice experience and I know how much you value your privacy, so I thought to myself that if I want to see you truly happy, maybe I should make sure that you have all the privacy you may ever need." My heart flutters at his thoughtfulness. "Thank you so much." I stop walking and slightly pull at his hand, causing him to look at me. I reach for him and wrap my arms around his body. It doesn't take him long to do the same. He places a gentle kiss on the top of my head before I slowly untangle my arm from around him. Silas hasn't kissed me on the lips ever since he did it once and I told him I didn't feel anything. I still feel bad about that day because I knew that I hurt him, but I also didn't want to lie to him. I can never toy with his feelings like that. He doesn't deserve that from me or At the end of the wooden path, I find a round table with flower petals on it. Rose petals to be exact. He really has thought about everything. The effort he has been making with me makes guilt eat at my heart. He is doing everything in his power to make me remember how I once fell in love with him, yet my heart is a block of ice and I hate that. "Silas, this

is truly amazing," I say, looking up at him. I love the height difference between us "I'm glad you like it," he tells me as he guides me to my seat.

"I don't just like it. I love it. I love everything about it," I tell him. I want him to know that I'm truly grateful for his presence in my life and all that he has been doing for me.

I enjoy the swooshing sound of the waves as I stare at the sea for a few seconds. I want to start a conversation with Silas, but I don't know what to talk to him about. I feel like there are millions of things we can discuss together, yet I cannot think of one of them. "How have you been? I haven't contacted you during the past two days," Silas starts the conversation. "Why haven't you contacted me?" I ask. I want to know more about this mentality.

"I don't want you to think that I'm love-bombing you, Rosie. The last thing I want is for coerced into being with me in any way." He is very considerate, and I love that about him. "Thank you for that and... I didn't do much except for going out with Everest once," I tell him. The way he tenses when I mention going out with Everest makes me wonder if I should have kept that piece of information to myself.
