Can’t Win Me Back

Landon organized a heartwarming and sumptuous dinner party at the fortress that evening.

Lauren loved plushies, so cute stuffed toys were displayed around the fortress.

Every table had a pair of teddy bears.

One was a silly-looking brown bear in a black suit, representing Landon. The other, representing Lauren, was a light pink bear in a white wedding dress leaning against the brown teddy.

Due to Lauren’s health condition, she couldn’t consume overly greasy foods.

Thus, most of the dishes served at the dinner reception were dishes catered to

her palate. Every dish was made using top-grade ingredients that were flown in.

They might be plain, but everyone was satisfied with them.

Lauren couldn’t consume alcohol either. Thus, there was not a single glass of alcohol at the tables that evening. Instead, the drinks were replaced with various juices and teas.

During the newlyweds’ toast, Landon prepared a glass of his handmade sweet tea for Lauren. After being in the hospital for an extended period, she hadn’t felt so free in so long. She had three cups of sweet tea at once, making her smile from ear to ear.
