Angelo stood outside Miley’s apartment building, holding a velvet box In his hand.
He opened the box, it was the diamond necidace he had Priscilla help pick out. The sun was shining brightly today, making the diamond pendant sparide.
He stared at the pendant for a few seconds, suddenly remembering Priscilla’s eyes going from hopeful to disappointed and indifferent when he said, “T know you don’t like it, so I’m asking for your help to try it on!

He rang the doorbell.
When Miley opened the door, her eyes lit up and she smiled as if she had been expecting it.

“Angelo?” She blinked, “How d

Angelo paused for a moment and finally just said, “I didn’t say I’d go out with you today to find inspiration.”
Miley nodded with a smile, unaware of his concerns, “I almost forgot, wait here, I’ll change my shoes.” Angelo gripped the steering wheel, with Miley’s excited voice in his ear. In the past, he would patiently agree, but today, for some howcy–hearted, making it hard for him to catch his breath.

In the bar restroom, he washed his face with cold water. When he looked up, the reflection in the mirror showed his eyes looking dull and unclear. What was he doing?
Today was supposed to be a rare date with Miley, but all he could think about was Priscilia’s figure,
I’m going crazy..
He wiped the water stains off his face, about to push the door open, when he heard Miley’s voice not far away.
She seemed to be on the phone, her tone completely different from just now.
