He stood across the street beside a tree, one hand tucked into the pocket of his dark jeans while the other held his phone loosely. His expression was calm at first glance, but Lena noticed it immediately.

    The past few days Lena had been bonding more with Ethan. She could finally love someone without hurting anyone. But even if it seems like she has it all, she couldn't help but still feel like something is missing. Jayden had moved out of the building. She didn't even know; she thought he traveled at first. Until the owner was bringing in people to check the house; that was when she knew he had gone. The day she found out she was going to get a lens for her camera, she heard noises towards that area and, out of curiosity, moved there. "Yeah, you're going to love it," Mr. Simone, the house owner, said. It's quite spacious, the guy said. Hello, good morning. Lena said to the both of them. Oh, look who's here. Hi, Lena. Are you on your way to work? Yes, I heard a noise and decided to find out what's going on. Oh, nothing serious; I'm just showing this young man around. Ermm… what about Jayden? He lives here. He didn't tell you; such a shame. I thought you guys were close.

    They were eventually rescued from the elevator. The moment the doors slid open, Jayden didn't utter a single word. He simply walked away without looking back, leaving Lena standing there with mixed emotions swirling inside her. Back in the apartment, Lena narrated everything that had happened to Chloe. Ethan had already left earlier. He claimed he had a few things to take care of and needed some rest afterward. While they were still talking, Lena's phone rang. It was Ethan.

She climbed out of bed, fixed her messy hair, and followed the smell into the kitchen. The sight that greeted her immediately made her laugh. Ethan was standing in front of the stove wearing an apron while flipping pancakes. Lena folded her arms and leaned against the doorway. "I didn't know you could cook." Ethan turned around. The moment he saw her, his eyes widened dramatically. He immediately grabbed a spatula and pointed it at her. "Ladies and gentlemen, please direct your attention to the beautiful woman who has finally graced us with her presence this morning." Lena laughed. "Oh my God." "The woman. The myth. The legend." "Ethan." "The one and only Princess Lena." He took an exaggerated bow. Lena shook her head. "You are ridiculous." "I know." He looked entirely t
