Paris all those years back. I wanted to tell you then that you didn’t have to break up with me because I’d be here for you no matter what. But I let you go. I was stupid for doing so but I guess, I also wanted you to see the world because you deserve so much more than what I could give you. And, I knew that you’d be great out there. I knew that you deserve to make your dreams come true and so even though it broke my heart, I let you go.
    So, yeah, we had relationships with other people. For a while, I thought that maybe, that was it for us. Maybe, we really had to move on with our lives because it’s useless to get stuck in the past. I would hear news about you and would be happy for everything you get to achieve then, you know, my relationship with Ruby faltered and for a time, I thought that maybe, love just won’t be for me. Because realistically speaking, I kept looking for what we had, which of course, wasn’t really fair for others so I just decided to be alone.
    And then you came back and we made amends and tried to make things work. And then we broke up once more. It hurt me. I didn’t know what to feel but I realized, maybe, you just need time. But nothing would change how I feel about you. I also realized that actions, not words, are what I should show you. I guess, I’ve often made the mistake of not letting you feel how much I love you and how much I care for you, and now, I would like you to know how I feel.
    Emmy, I love you. I always have and I know I always will. I know there will be hard days. There will be days when we probably won’t feel like ourselves and when we’d think that it’s better to be apart. On days like that, I would like you to remember that you have me, and that I love you and I’d always be here. I just want you to realize that and not forget it. I want you to know and understand that I won’t let you down and it will be stupid for us to forget about our love for each other and to think that it’s wrong to be together.
    I love you, Emmy. Will you marry me?” He took out a box from his pocket and took a beautiful white gold ring with three pink diamonds on top.
    Emmy couldn’t believe this, but her heart was bursting with pride and happiness because she felt like this was the moment that she has been waiting for so long. “Yes.” She answered almost breathlessly and Daniel put the ring on her finger and gave her a long hug.
    “I love you.” He said.
    “I love you, too.” She shot back with tears in her eyes. Troy popped the champagne as Anja clapped beside him.
    “Oh my god!” Audrina, who just arrived, said. “I missed it, didn’t I?” She said. She was about to cry, too. She placed the bucket of chicken on the table and gave Daniel and Emmy a hug. “I am so happy for you!” She smiled with tears in her eyes.
    “Thank you!” Emmy told her. “But what took you so long?”
    “Oh, never mind,” Audrina said. “I mean…it’s…it’s really not a good thing.”
    “What do you mean?” Emmy asked, “What happened?”
    “Em, you just got engaged.”
    “No, tell me.”
    Audrina took a deep breath. “I passed by the country club and…” She paused and then, “Well, I guess you just have to see it for yourself.”

CHAPTER 5
LET’S SEE JIMMY
    Emmy wanted to just stay in the moment and feel the glow of being engaged but she also knew that it was not possible at the moment, especially after Audrina came and they saw how anxious she seemed.
    So, Emmy, Daniel, and Audrina used Daniel’s car to make their way to the country club. The number of tables around, paired with a whole lot of flowers, balloons, and 60’s music did not make it hard for them to realize that something big was going on—and that it’s not something that would make them happy because Tripp Meyer was around and so were his bodyguards.
    “Oh god.” Emmy said as they watched people drink coffee and eat some cake while they were inside Daniel’s car.
    “I know.” Audrina sighed.
