As the surrounding couples cheered, encouraging her to accept the flower, Luna and Leo eagerly joined in, urging their mother. 

Selene scanned the crowd, realizing she had little choice but to take the rose from Kane. Refusing would only draw more attention, creating a scene she desperately wanted to avoid. 

More eyes were turning toward them now, and the last thing she needed was for someone to recognize Kane. If that happened, social media would explode with rumors, spreading like wildfire–a nightmare she was determined to prevent. 

Her gaze flickered to Kane, who stood before her, his expression filled with anticipation.

Without meeting his eyes for long, she swiftly reached for the rose, plucking it from his grasp. 

A wave of applause erupted around them. Kane’s lips curled into a smile as he glanced at Selene, then – turned to give a polite nod of thanks to the elderly woman who had been watching the exchange. 

The old woman studied Selene for a moment before offering Kane an approving nod. 

“Your husband looks mature, but this young man here he loves you deeply. I can see it in his eyes,” she murmured. “You have my blessings, my dear.” 

Selene averted her gaze, choosing not to respond. Instead, she shifted her focus to her children. 

“Come on, kids. It’s time to head back to the hotel.” 

Luna and Leo, both beaming with joy, had no objections. Leo eagerly took her hand. 

“Let’s go, Mommy.” 

Kane reached for Luna’s hand, and together, the four of them made their way back. 

Throughout the entire walk, Selene remained silent. Kane, however, stole glances at her whenever he could. What lifted his spirits was the simple fact that she hadn’t discarded his flower this time. 

Maybe just maybe–he was beginning to break through the walls around her heart. 

Midnight 

The hotel was quiet, with everyone fast asleep in their rooms. 

Selene stirred awake, her throat dry. She slipped out of bed, padding softly to the kitchen for a glass of 

water.

As she returned to her bedroom, she caught sight of Kane on the couch, shifting uncomfortably. His broad frame didn’t fit the small space, forcing him to curl his legs awkwardly. 

She stopped, watching him for a moment. The moonlight streamed through the window, casting silver shadows over his face. His blanket had slipped to the floor, leaving him exposed to the cool night air. 

Without thinking, she knelt down and retrieved it. Carefully, she draped it over him, ensuring he was 

covered. 

Her eyes lingered on his face. A faint crease formed between his brows, as if even in sleep, he was troubled. 

Memories surfaced–memories of how she used to watch him sleep, believing he was the most handsome man in the world. Back then, just looking at him had felt like a quiet kind of happiness. 

She exhaled softly. Time had moved so fast, twisting her life into something unrecognizable. This man was no longer hers. And she had no intention of ever letting him back in. 

Straightening, she turned to leave. 

But before she could take a step, a hand wrapped around her wrist. 

She froze, eyes snapping to the hand grasping her. 

Looking down, she met Kane’s gaze. His eyes were open. 

“You were awake?” she whispered. 

Instead of answering, Kane tugged her forward. 

Caught off guard, she stumbled–falling right into him.
