Stanley wanted to smack her head, but his stomach churned again, and he retched. The driver looked on in worry.
Oh, I can’t do this. Melinda patted his back. “I’m sorry for not asking, but you’re an adult. You should learn how to say no.”
“Shut it.” Stanley clutched his chest and coughed.

Monica was standing nearby watching this scene and feeling sad. She came to search for inspiration, yet she saw Stanley and Melinda on a date instead. She wasn’t shocked, but it was like her legs were made of lead. A gust of breeze kissed her cheek, and she felt herself tearing up.
She watched helplessly as Melinda patted Stanley’s back and held his arm like he was her boyfriend, and Monica froze. Something within her shattered–it was her soul. Tears glistened in her eyes. Why? I’ve worked so hard, and yet they’re still falling in love faster than I can close the distance between me

Melinda looked at him for a moment before following him,
Zack trailed behind slowly as he didn’t want to become the third wheel.
Monica saw them off calmly, her legs feeling like lead. Her gut told her that Stanley had fallen for this village girl. He would never treat a woman this nicely unless he liked her.
Stanley took a stroll around the amusement park with Melinda behind him. She looked at him, wondering what he had in mind.
Just then, an old man selling candied fruit approached them, his wares shining and glistening under the sun. Candied fruit was something Melinda loved back when she was a child, and the ones the old man was selling looked particularly nice. She looked at them for a few moments.
That detail did not escape Stanley, “Want some?”
“Sorry?” She was a bit slow on the uptake.

The elderly man had reached them. Stanley took a stick of the candied fruits, and Zack quickly paid for it.
Monica was still following them. When she saw Stanley handing the dessert to Melinda, she felt something awakened within her. Like a delighted girl, Melinda carefully took the wrapper off.
She pulled the first fruit off and tried to feed Stanley, but he leaned back. “No.”

“Hey, what are you doing?” Melinda protested and tried to take his phone. “Let me see. I want to see my photo.”
“Not until we’ve taken ten.” Stanley tucked his phone away calmly.
Failing to take the phone, Melinda jumped angrily. “Hey, why the sudden wefie? Wait, have you fallen… for me?”
“In your dreams,” he said calmly, but Monica could feel the love in his voice.
