Being there with Cassidy made Adrian forget about everything else.
When she went and kissed him all of the sudden, he imagined seeing fireworks blooming in a dark night sky. His heart keeps drumming wilder and wilder in each passing second. He can feel butterflies flying around in his stomach, and for a moment, he thought that he was only dreaming of her again.
Never in his life had he ever had such a reaction. Never in his life had he felt something as strong as his feelings for this very special woman. There is no doubt about it - she is his true happiness, indeed.
Eventually, Cassidy pulled away from Adrian. She then used her fingers to brush a few stray locks of hair that fell on his forehead.
"Happy birthday again, Adrian," she whispered to him before looking down, a little embarrassed.
