“I’m glad to hear that.” Feeling guilty, he said, “I used to be really willful and had caused you a lot of trouble. I’ve grown a lot after everything that has happened in the past two years. I know you don’t have any romantic feelings for me, and I also know love can’t be forced. From now onward, I’ll be by your side as your good friend and put my feelings for you behind me. I promise to be there whenever you need me!”

“Thank you, Michael.” She was deeply moved by his words. “You have to take good care of yourself too. I hope that you’ll find your happiness soon!”

“I will.” He nodded. “It’s a beautiful night. Shall we head to the beach for a stroll?”

“All right then.” Reluctant to part with her so soon, Michael offered, “Let me see you out.”
