Arabella had seen the fervor of fans before, but still, the energy in the air was electric.
"Oh yeah, is David coming hfor New Year's Eve? Does he have to work?" Arabella asked casually.
"David cleared his schedule for those days. He said it's his sister's first New Year back home, and he's determined to spend it with
her. He was so adamant about it, even pushed back against his agent, who finally gave in."
Arabella didn't expect David to make tfor her like that, and her heart softened at the thought.
"I'll be home, too."
"I'll let David know. He'll be thrilled."
"I've got to head off now."

"Don't forget my engagement party!" Jossie called out with a wave.
"I'll be there."
Arabella returned to her seat just as David was bowing to his adoring fans, who were shouting their love, seven in tears, not
ready to let him go.
The concert wound down, stage lights dimming, and the crowd began to disperse.
Romeo took Arabella's hand gently and said, "You sing beautifully, better than any song I've ever heard."
"Really?"
"Yes, of course. | took videos and photos for you. They're all on your phone now."
"When did you recognize me?"
"When you called David's name."
Arabella was surprised. Romeo had recognized her voice even before she took the stage?
"To have a fiancée with such a lovely voice, | wonder if | could get sspecial treatment? Maybe a song request? A private
serenade?”
"We'll see how | feel."
"So, how is my fiancée feeling right now?"
"Not bad."

"Let's get swater to soothe your throat first."
Every VIP seat had a bottle of mineral water. Romeo opened it and helped her take a few sips.
Arabella's throat felt much better.
She noticed the floor was spotless. The fans had taken their litter away in little bags, and they were leaving in an orderly fashion
through several exits, with no sign of the usual jostle and rush.
Alma was at the end of the queue next to them, watching as Romeo placed the glowing bunny ears back on Arabella's head.
He whispered in her ear from tto time, their hands tightly interlocked, his adoring gaze as if it could hold no one but Arabella.
"The concert was totally worth it tonight! | never expected to see Summer, let alone hear her sing. Her voice is like a stream
flowing from the mountains, and David's voice is like a breeze across the hills. Their voices together, it's the most beautiful duet
I've ever heard!"
