Paul: are you alright?

Ellie: Yeah, take me to the station. I need to go back to Iowa.

Paul; ok. Yeah.

But Paul didn't believe Ellie cause she looks sad. so he asked her again before she left

Paul: something happened in there .and I'm sure that's the reason you're sad right now.

Ellie: I'm fine, Paul, don't worry about me. Please make sure that dad always eats his meal. Take care of him for me.

Paul: don't worry about him. I'm worried about you

Ellie: don't be. ☺️ I have to go, see you in the summer.

A few months after, Ellie came back at Squahamish. To spent the summer with her dad.

And she also attends and serves church while she was there.

And she was expecting to see Aster Flores and a ring on her finger.

But she has to bear with it.

It's only 4 Sundays.

And only two more left.

She endures the pain for the past two weeks. She sees her.

But the 3rd week was the hardest

Ellie: aster

Aster: hi Ellie chu

Ellie: sorry, I don't want to bother you, but can we talk?

Aster: We were talking already.

Ellie: oh, ok. I have a week left here in squahamish before going back to Grinnell.

Aster: oh

Ellie: Can I spend it with you? No.ahm.I'm going to spend it with you

Aster: you're joking.

Ellie: I'm serious. I have a deal for you

Aster: hey ahm, this is nonsense

Ellie: just let me spend my last week here at squahamish with you, then I'm going to get over you. I promise,

Aster: Ellie chu, this is a crazy idea

It's cheating on trig

Ellie: no, you're doing this to enjoy your life before trig completely ruins it. It's just seven days aster.

Aster: I'm not sure about this. But I have to leave now.

Trig was waiting outside, and aster had to leave undecided.

Paul: What are you thinking, huh?

Did you love getting hurt?

Ellie: I want aster to be happy before her wedding. Maybe it would change her mind.

Paul: And what made you think she'll go with it?

Aster: why not?

They both were in great shock after seeing aster Flores standing in front of them.

Aster: I'll take the deal, Ellie chu. I'm going to do this for you so that you can move on.

But you have to promise me after this. We are finished. Ok?

Ellie: ok! Deal

Paul: wow! I can't believe this is happening.
