She didn't mind the other adults who were having fun on the merry-go-round. However, Evelyn felt she had passed the age for such childish sentiments.

On the contrary, Sheffield loved indulging his childish habits. Far from behaving like a regular 28-year-old, he was the prime example of a man-child.

Sheffield grabbed her hand and said, "Ol close to me!"

Come on! Just one ride! Stay

Evelyn refused again.

"No, not this. Choose something else." Evelyn still couldn't believe that Sheffield had just told her to go on a merry-go-round with him. Who would expect that from the CEO of a multinational corporation? The famous Star Anise! The man who was once the deputy director of the nephrology department of First General

Hospital in Alorith.

"Do you know what couples who ride a merry-go-round do?" Sheffield asked, staring at her with expectant eyes.

“What ?"

“This is a very popular spot! In fact, this is where all the couples come in from the Eiffel Tower to show their affection for each other with a kiss. It's meant to signify the loyalty of their love,”

Sheffield explained. ‘Huh? How have I never heard about this before?"

Evelyn wondered.

Disregarding her resistance, he grabbed her hand and dragged her to the merry-go-round.

He sat her down on one of the horses and rode the one next to hers.

Sheffield narrowed the distance between them, perfectly positioning himself for a romantic kiss.

Just as the music started playing, the carousel started spinning.

The weather in Paris that day felt like a kiss of summer without the fiery heat of noon time in August. The grass was a soft green that almost had a hint of blue and in the sky was enough pristine white cloud to show how beautiful and perfect the day was.

Sheffield snapped a few candid photographs of Evelyn, despite her reluctance. After a while, she gave up and burst into laughter, amused by his antics.

As the merry-go-round went on, Sheffield put his phone away and asked,

"Do you remember what I just said?"

"You said a lot. Which part are you specifically talking about?"

"Come over here. I'll tell you!" Sheffield smiled, moving closer towards Evelyn.

Her heart skipped a beat, but she responded by leaning in so her forehead rested against his.

Unable to contain himself anymore, Sheffield held her head in his hands and pulled her into a fiery and passionate kiss.

They pulled apart and opened their eyes. As they stared deep into each other's eyes, Sheffield's were full of wonder and love; Evelyn's full of curiosity and passion. No words were spoken but a story worthy of them was communicated.
