Lena's POV ~
These past few days I have been very busy . Work hasn't been this tough before , now that Maddie isn't here to help me . I have talked to her a few times and met her , honestly I love her company , even more than before. I love to here her stories. Her life journey has been amazing. Her sense of humour is totally what everyone needs. But it's time I face a bigger problem. Today is Saturday , the day I am supposed to meet Evan . I cannot tell what is going to happen , what the near future has for me , I have no idea about it . The only thing left is hope . A very small hope .

It's almost evening . I have second thoughts about going but I still give in . With random thoughts surrounding my mind , I decide to get ready .

Looks like a cropped white cardigan with blue jeans will be ok . It's not too fancy also this is what I wear usually. I am not dressed to impress afterall.

Pairing it with some white canvas shoes and a small white purse which has essential items including pepper spray . Tying my hair into a low pony tail , I am ready . Yes , perfect .

I hear a honk outside and look at the time . It's 6 already ?I didn't even have time to overthink and spoil my mood. Well , that's a great thing.

Walking downstairs I meet with a silent house. Oh yeah , my parents have shifted to their house , which they brought almost 5 years ago . Looks like they are giving me privacy . Not that I have any problem. Ali isn't home . So I guess , I shouldn't make him wait for long .

Evan's POV ~

I was a nervous wreck. Yeah , that's it , that's the sentence which can describe me right now . For some reason I feel horrible , excited and happy at the same time. But it's not the time to joke . I will make sure we solve the problems we have tonight itself. It's going to be a long night .
But where is she ? Why do women take so long to get ready ? Or maybe she is trying her best to impress me. I wouldn't mind that actually. She simply looks good in anything. Thinking about her , I smirk a little.
And here she comes , opening the car door and sitting beside me. Shit ! I thought I was going to open the door for her . But that would make things more awkward.
Wow , impressive . She chose a casual wear. Her choice in clothes are always amazing .
She looked at me and smiled . My heart seemed to skip a beat.

"Hi..hi.lena . You look good " and there goes my chance to impress her .
She chuckles while putting a strand of hair behind her ear . I notice a beautiful butterfly shaped rubber band which is studded with stones on her low pony tail. It makes her hair even more enchanting. If I could just ruffle her hair-

"Uh- Evan . Maybe we should go . " Realising I have been staring her for too long , I did not waste a tiny second before heading towards our destination . On the way we had small talks. Very small talks . But atleast she looks comfortable , unlike the last time in phone call or dinner .

A few minutes pass by and we reach the place which I have specially chosen for today's date.
I get out of the car and quickly open her door .

A peaceful beach . The sound of waves ringing in my ear makes me relax . But we are not going to talk here . A very special place , a private corner which only I discovered since I came to this place . And I know lena will like it too .
Taking her further , we found the place that I arranged. Small fairy lights dangling in a small area , and below some cushions and pillow . Some good soft toys . A lot of comfortable space for both of us if things don't go according to the plan .
The big beautiful candle lights make it more surreal . Best lighting for the dark sky.
