Mason and Riley make their way back to the party—hand in hand. The sky shines even brighter now, earning a small gasp from the younger. "Look, the stars came out!"

Riley squeezes her hand and smiles, "The universe must be our fan," She giggled. "They shine brighter now that we're together."

Mason's cheeks turned red and hot. She wasn't used to being this affectionate. Nor was she ever the type to be clingy. But Riley will always be an exception. "I can't believe you said that."

"Huh, why not?" Riley questioned.

"It feels like a fever dream. And to hear you say we're together makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. I just can't believe this is real."

Riley stops.

"Why'd you stop walking?" Mason wondered.

Riley tugs at her wrist and pulls her close. And like it was the first time, their lips touch, and it made Mason blush even harder.

"How about now? Does it feel real?"

Mason shrugs her shoulders. "Hm, I don't know...I think you should try again." She grinned. Her mischief had kicked in.

"Are you sure, Kang Haerin?"

"Just shut up and kiss me," She demanded. "Please. Just kiss me..." Her voice softer now.

Riley bit her lower lip and chuckled, "You must really. Want. Me. To. Kiss. You." Six kisses in between each breathe. They laugh.

"Can't really blame me now can you?"

They arrive back at the entrance. Jesse still stood in his place. Only this time, a wide smile present on his lips. "You got your girl, miss."

Mason nods happily. "I got my girl."

Riley smiles at the sound of it. My girl. She was finally Mason's and Mason hers. She too felt like it was a dream conspired by the universe.

"This is Jesse," Mason introduced. "He talked some sense into me before I went after you. Without him none of this would've happened."

Jesse shakes his head. "I'll have to disagree with that, miss. It was all you. All you needed was a little push to get there." He smiled.

"Please, call me Mason." She walked up to the older one and hugged him warmly. At first, he was shocked, but returned the hug. "And don't say that. You helped. You played part in this too. Little or big...what you did mattered."

There's an even bigger smile now as they pulled away. "You know...you should come inside," Riley added. "It's getting colder out here. You deserve to have something to eat. Get warmed up."

Mason agreed. "Yeah, come join us!"

"Oh, I shouldn't." He declined. "I have a duty to fulfil and honestly I don't think the host would appreciate me being in there rather than here."

Riley faces her phone towards him, "Nope, the host has now ordered you to come inside and enjoy yourself." She smiled. It didn't take long for the girl to text Jennifer. Nor did it take long for the older to reply. "Warm up and eat, Jesse."
