Can’t Win Me Back

The sky that had been overcast for days finally cleared up on the day of Angelina's funeral.

Standing in front of her headstone in the silent cemetery, Landon placed a bunch of white daisies on her grave with a look of despair. Beside the bouquet rested the broken lucky charm.

Following that, Alyssa and Jasper offered their bouquet. The rest of the Taylor siblings were also present, alongside Julien, Rose, and Jordan. They offered Angelina flowers and prayers.

The women at the site wept while the men tried their best to hide their grief, offering comfort to their partners.

Only Cyrus, the policeman who had experienced his fair share of life and death, teared up ever since he arrived at the scene. He did not share many encounters with Angelina, but every time they met, she left a deep impression on him, especially the time at the amusement park. When he first met Angelina, she gave the impression of being arrogant and uptight. After their first exchange, he found her a jolly and humorous woman.

Memories of Angelina dressed in a pink bunny costume flooded Cyrus’ mind. She had asked him for a photo with her hand gently placed on his shoulder.
