After a moment of hesitation, he decided to enter the birthdate as the door code.

To his astonishment, the door swung open without hesitation!

As the door creaked open, Holden stood there, his disbelief freezing him in his tracks.

Whether it was fate playing its fickle hand or some other cosmic twist, Holden didn’t have the luxury of pondering it. Ariana, in a sudden burst of energy, attempted to shove him aside. Before he could react, she had already pushed him away, running to the nearby flowerbed, where she started a bout of uncontrollable retching.

Holden followed, feeling utterly helpless, and got out a handful of tissues for her. To his astonishment, Ariana pushed him away once more, extending her arms in a wide embrace of a nearby pillar, serenading it with a heartfelt, albeit slightly off-key, tune. She adamantly refused to step inside.

With no other recourse at his disposal, Holden tried to coax her, doing his utmost to lead her away from the pillar after a prolonged tussle. Yet, even after he had successfully coaxed her down, Ariana remained obstinate, firmly declining to cross the door into the house.

Following more commotion, Holden managed to carry the nearly unconscious Ariana inside.
