It might be an exhausting day. Nevertheless, we relished it and are happy that Stella finds it useful. I don't have many weeks left here, likewise I'm going to miss this place. Daisy is going to be really difficult to understand. I didn't want to leave her alone, but I can't help myself.
I come across difficult situations in life where I lose someone or anything I cherish.

"Why this long face?" David and Grace strolled in my direction. "This is the end of it now. We are supposed to go," he stated.
"Yeah, concerning Daisy". Grace said, "She's seeing if anything's left."

I drew a deep breath before continuing. "I'll be leaving for Paris soon."
They had widened their eyes. As I said something terrible. I remained mute until they asked to speak. I feel a tiny bit of relief within now that they are both aware. David is shocked as it's sooner than we both expected, even though he was the one who knew beforehand.

"Are you serious?" Grace enquired.
"Yes," I said as I nodded.
"Did Daisy find out already? I didn't consider, did I? "
"Not yet, but I'll..." Knowing that it would hurt her, I was unable to put it on.
David stated, "You should let her aware."

Everyone left already including David and grace. We were the only three at the shop. Daisy had the entire concept, so Stella wants her to clarify everything. I was waiting for Daisy when I left the retail location, and it's almost six-thirty.

Daisy came over to me, her lips pursed in a thin, weary smile.
She signed, "Thank you for helping,I am glad everything ended up nicely."
"You no need to thank me," I kissed her forehead.

We just wandered for a while without speaking words, so I'm not sure if I can tell her. She must have sensed something that bothered me. When she stopped walking, I turned. She waited for me to say something before responding. However, I was merely staring at her.

"What is it? Steve. Is there anything you-"
"I'm moving to Paris." Her gaze raised as I interrupted. It is bittersweet that we are silent. This is the place where I've always wanted to leave. However, now that I have her, it's difficult for me.

"Did you plan it before I moved here?"
I muttered, "Yes."
Insisting that everything was fine she took hold of my hand and moved further. As I wait for her response, I breathe steadily.
"I'd like you to come...." She murmured, hopelessly staring into my eyes, "With me somewhere ."
I followed her. "Sure"

Castle mound, the perfect spot to watch the sunset, as it was getting close to dusk. We were sitting on the grass, staring at the sun with her head resting on my shoulder. I sense coziness and warmth more and l'm delightful to spend time with her.

"Steve. Will you see me again soon?"
"I promise. I'll"
"If I'm on vacation, what then?"
"I'll run over to surprise you at wherever you are."
She smiled and hugged me.
"No,I don't want you to get hurt."
"I'll come to you steadily, like a turtle. Is that okay?
"I like tortoises."
"Fine! then, I like them too"

We were surrounded by less people. This is the most exquisite moment of my existence. Being with someone special by my side is like watching the sunset for the first time in life. We share a brief moment of silence as we both feel the love and realize that this time together won't come around very often.
