บท 177: Valentine's Day (I)

It was D-Day.

Everyone who had prepared their gifts were looking at them with excitement - and also, a little bit of nervousness. Fear, even.

✿✿ Sam ✿✿

Sam held the musical box tenderly in his hands, and placed it into a small paper bag. He hadn't wrapped it up as he felt the paper bag was better: it hid what was inside and for Betty who received it, she would not have to trouble herself in unwrapping it.

He could also see her reaction instantly.

Would she like it? Would she accept it? She did say that so long as the guy was nice, she would not hesitate to try going out with him, right?

Although the logical Sam was saying that all factors were pointing towards a favourable outcome, the emotional Sam kept doubting himself with the 'what ifs'.

What if she doesn't like the musical box?

Worse. What if she doesn't want to try dating as she just wants to remain friends?
