Aleksis didn't respond to Nicolae's proposal at all that night. She didn't want to carelessly decide when she hadn't completely found her heart. She knew the Alchemists were married once an entire lifetime, and she didn't want to hurt Nicolae by saying that she was willing to marry him even though she still couldn't accept him.
Nicolae said nothing more after that. He enjoyed looking at the sky while hugging the girl, while Altair and Vega sat embracing each other under a thick blanket. Nobody spoke until the aurora dance slowly disappeared in the darkness.
"Let's go home," Nicolae invited the three. He helped them get down from the car hood one by one. After everything was ready, he drove back to the beautiful house by the lake he had bought for their trip this time.
