Halloween Night

She grabbed his hand, and they walked to the dance floor next to Sherley and her boyfriend.

"Does your boyfriend wear a mask?" Giani jokingly asked Sherley, whose boyfriend visibly now wore a mask.

"Yes, but you don't." She stepped on his foot. Giani grimaced at her, but she disregarded him.

I watched my mother and Garvey dance amorously.

"I'm so looking forward to seeing Carter in Paris," she exhaled.

"Oh, Garvey. I'll be so proud."

"Chriscile, I'd like to be there with you. Ever since I met you, I feel proud when I am around you," he gently kissed her lips. It was a pre-emptive kiss. "All the bad moments that had happened in my life.

I don't think of them anymore. Not as much. Because I think of you all day... Chriscile, I love you. You don't have to say anything right now."

"Garvey- "

"I also want to go to Paris with you. I already planned everything.

Please let me go with you," he told her.

"Garvey, I have to think about it. And I have to talk to my children about it first ."

Garvey nodded in agreement. "I have time," he replied.

Meanwhile, I observed Giani and Sophie gesturing to each other.

I became a detective, observing everyone in the crowd.

"I'm Sophie. I came with Peggy," she introduced herself to Giani.

"Cool," said Giani, who was shy when he was around women.

"So...who are you then?" she asked him.
