“I promise you I’ll love Kasie with all my heart and soul. I’ll treat her well and make her smile every second. I don’t mind if she comes to visit you from tto time. And I’ll even go with her, whenever we get the chance.”
A few minutes later, Ivan told her, “Don’t cry. I’ll wait for you at the entrance.” He wanted to give her sprivacy, so she could talk to
Emmett freely and honestly.
Kasie nodded. After Ivan walked away, the whole world was quiet with only her and Emmett.
The air felt oppressive. A crow fluttered its wing and flew out of a dense tree, swooping through the air. The atmosphere was eerie in the quiet cemetery. Kasie kept silent with her eyes glued to Emmett’s picture.

After dwelling on the past for a long while, Kasie started again, “I met Ivan through Tomboy. I thought he was married to her, so I kept my distance. I wouldn’t get involved with a married man. Last time when we were on a vacation, he kissedwithout Debbie knowing. I was so scared. I didn’t want to be the other woman and Debbie’s my best friend, for heaven’s sake. I tried my best to not love him. I thought
I’d be betraying you… Last night, he toldhis marriage was fake.
At that moment, beams of joy and excitement filled my heart. I haven’t felt that way for three years. Since you…since you died. So I knew I couldn’t deny it anymore. I have really fallen in Love with him “

She slowly recounted the whole story of her and Ivan.
“So I’m going to marry another man. Doa favor. Find a hotter girl thanin the other world. If you’re happy, so am I. Don’t worry. Even if I marry
Ivan, I’ll still take care of your parents. Please rest in peace..
Finally, she drew her face closer to the gravestone and kissed Emmett’s picture.
“Emmett, this is the last tI kiss you. But I promise, this won’t be the last tI visit. I’ll see you soon.”
When Kasie finally emerged from the cemetery, Ivan was on the phone.
His parents’ plane had touched down in the airport, and they were on their way to the Garcia family’s home.

“We’ll be there in 30 minutes,” he told his parents. Then, he pulled her into his arms and patted her back to comfort her. The girl was still sad, given over to her emotions of grief over Emmett’s death.
Back in Ivan’s car, she leaned on his shoulder without saying a word.
After she calmed down a little, he strapped her in and started the engine.
Then they went to a mall and selected a pair of diamond rings before heading towards Kasie’s home.
By the tthey arrived, Logan and Elsie had been there for awhile.
They were inside, chatting happily with Kasie‘s parents. They seemed to be getting on well.
This was the first tKasie had ever formally met Ivan’s parents. But she felt quite sorry because her eyes were still red from weeping.
Reading her mind, Ivan shook his head and whispered in her ear, “It’s okay. My parents won’t mind. I’ll explain to them Later.”
