Dawn smiled, her eyes squinting slightly. When she nodded, her ponytail bounced. “Yeah, I’ll get the blueberry one. Isn’t that your favorite?”
Ethan kept smiling. “Yeah, I love it.”
“I’ll go get it for you!”
Dawn pushed the door open and hopped out of the car. Her breath formed little clouds in the cold air as she quickly jogged into the cake shop.
Ethan never took his eyes off her. He watched her walk in, choose the cake, pay, and receive it from the clerk. From time to time, she would look up and nce outside, as if worried he was waiting too long, and politely told the clerk to hurry.
Three minutester, Dawn was back in the car.
She rubbed her hands together, smiling brightly. “Let’s go. You drive, I’ll feed you.”
Ethan had never experienced anything like this–or rather, he never even dared to imagine it before.
He started the engine, and the quiet anticipation made his eyes keep straying to the side.
After turning two corners, they reached a red light.
As soon as the car stopped, the girl scooped a small piece of cake with a spoon, holding it out with one hand. Her smile was radiant. “Mr. Jackson, here’s your favorite cake!”
Ethan’s eyes were fixed on her. Whether the cake tasted good didn’t matter anymore.
He hadn’t liked many things before.
But now, there could be a lot more.
His lips moved. He lifted his hand, veins visible, and gently held her wrist, bringing it to his mouth. Dawn raised her eyebrows. Seeing him eat gave her an odd sense of aplishment, and she couldn’t help but smile.
A sweet taste spread across his tongue. Ethan smiled and said in a low voice, “Thanks for the cake, Ms. Porter.”
After that simple “proposal,” something between them felt different.

There was an indescribable, intense chemistry between them.
Back at home, about half of the four–inch cake was gone.
Dawn carried it out of the car, and when the man behind her caught up, she held it asked him, “Still want some?”
Ethan didn’t want to say no, but his body honestly shook its head first.
He froze for a moment.
Dawn said, “Okay, then I’ll eat it.”

She stepped aside to let Ethan open the door, then followed him inside. Using the same spoon, she scooped a piece of cake into her mouth, letting out a satisfied sigh.
Ethan’s gaze lingered on the spoon for a couple of seconds, his Adam’s apple moving.
“What’s wrong?”
Dawn didn’t notice anything unusual. She chewed and swallowed the cake. “You … still want some?”
She held out the rest of the cake.
Ethan rubbed his forehead, half exasperated, half amused. “No, you eat it.”
Dawn said, “Oh,” took the cake back, and finished the cake herself. <fneec6> Updates are released by f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fneec6>
Once inside, she headed straight to her room, but the pleasant low voice behind her stopped her. “Dawn, wait a minute.”
Dawn turned back, puzzled. “Something else?”
“You…”
Ethan looked awkward, and for the first time, his beautiful eyes didn’t meet hers. His voice was low and hoarse. “If you have any ideas about the wedding, you can tell me first. I’ll get ready.”
<i>Um</i>…
Dawn was surprised. She didn’t know how to answer.
She’d imagined weddings a lot as a kid–romantic like in TV shows, dreamy like in fairy tales, or solemn and sacred like a church ceremony…

But now that the time hade, her mind waspletely nk, and she even felt like it was fine to not have one.
“I–I don’t have any ideas.”
Dawn pressed her lips together. “We can do it your way. I’m fine with anything.”
She thought that the Jacksons were a big family, and that their customs must be quite a hassle, so she would just go along with whatever they decided.
Ethan didn’t push it. He just nodded and said, “Okay. If you think of anything, you can tell me.”
Dawn agreed. “Well, good night.”
“Good night.”
Even though everything had been said, Dawn still thought about it. After she showered, she sent a message to Sandra and made a new appointment online.
She wasn’t nning to use her old phone number or Instagram anymore.
Consider it a farewell to the past.
The next day, Dawn put the new SIM card in her phone and copied all her contacts over. Just as she finished setting up WhatsApp, Anna called.
“So you’re in Northville?”
“Mm–hmm.”
Anna had just left the airport, and the noise from the crowd was loud as she spoke, “If all goes as nned, I’ll be in Northville for a long time, too. We’ll bepanions, baby.”
Dawn was ecstatic. “Want me to pick you up?”
“Pick me up? You’re living with your fiancé, right? I’d feel bad for bothering you.”
Anna checked the time. “I’ve already booked a hotel. How about we go to the hotel together? I’ll drop off my bags, and then we’ll go get something to eat.”
