As the soothing music started, Peter walked on stage in a suit. He coughed and said, “I am honored to have so many friends here today. Thank you.”

“Now, I want to confess my love to a beautiful lady. When I met her, I felt like I’d met the love of my life.”

After he finished speaking, the crowd below the stage started to cheer.

Shana puffed out her chest in the midst of the commotion and glanced at me like she won.

I rest my chin on my hand, bored. I can only hope this farce ends quickly.

“She is…”

As the lights on the field swung back and forth, Peter’s voice dragged on. Beside me, Shana was trying to look shy as she straightened her hair.

“It’s her!”

Suddenly I was hit by a beam of light. I squinted, then watched Peter jump off the stage and walk toward me.

Shana, who was in the darkness, was stunned for a second before she forced a smile and said loudly, “How could it be her? Peter, are you mistaken?”

Peter was clearly startled by Shana’s sudden appearance in the dark. He looked at me and then at Shana, whose expression was on the verge of breaking down. He quickly made a decision. “No, there’s no mistake. I just want to confess my love to this lady beside you.”

Immediately after, Peter looked at me and said affectionately, “Beautiful lady, I have loved you for a long time, but I don’t know your name. May I ask…”

“Impossible! Didn’t you say you like me?” Shana couldn’t maintain her posture and immediately interrupted Peter sharply.

Perhaps with me and many friends present, Peter had to pretend to be calm and explain, but his fluttering gaze revealed his panic.

“Shana, liking and loving are different things.”

“You said you would marry me!”
