"The government used to say fireworks were bad for the environment, and now they're allowing them again. The rules change every other day. Guess it has its pros and cons. So, want to go check it out?"
The weather had warmed up, and the evening breeze by the river was pleasant. It wouldn't be a bad idea to get Amelia out for some fresh air.
Deep down, Lila still hoped that Amelia and Vince would end up together. Lila had a pretty good idea of what Amelia was hesitant about.
The latter wanted marriage to happen naturally—because of love, not pressure. But she hadn't felt that love from Vince. Marriage was never her life goal or purpose—being happy was.
However, she had no idea where Vince stood in all of this. Maybe she should make time to ask him.
That night, the two of them arrived at the riverside early. The firework technicians were busy setting up, but the sandy shore was dominated by children, their laughter filling the air as they dug into the sand with tiny shovels, pretending to search for crabs.
Amelia leaned in close to Lila's ear and whispered, "There are no crabs here."
"They don't know that. Sometimes, what you believe matters more than what's real."
Amelia cocked her brow. "I had no idea you were so in touch with your inner child." Lila nudged her gently, and just as she was about to take a step forward, she abruptly stopped in her tracks.
Lila followed her gaze and spotted Vince with his date. She was dressed lightly and looked chilled. Vince noticed and immediately took off his jacket, handing it over to her.
The woman wrapped herself in the oversized jacket and tilted her head up toward him, eyes sparkling under the soft glow of the streetlights. Amelia, without saying a word, turned and walked in the opposite direction, pulling Lila along with her.
The fireworks began soon after—brilliant, dazzling, but fleeting. The bursts of color lasted only a moment but lingered in the memories of those who had watched them.
On the way back, Lila could tell Amelia was unusually quiet. Lila let out an exaggerated yawn. "I'm exhausted. Wake me up when we get there."
