Finnick surveyed the place he had woken up early just to set up, his heart suddenly swelling with pride for himself.
Flower petals were strewn all over the ground and the fairy lights hanging from the trees gave the whole park a dreamy vibe.
Some pedestrians stopped in their tracks when they saw the beautiful sight, wondering what kind of event was about to happen.
After a while, they figured that it was probably some big shot trying to please his woman.
Those whose curiosity got the better of them stayed back to join in the hype, waiting for the female lead to arrive.
After making sure everything was ready, Finnick
turned to Noah and said, "Check the time."
He would tell Vivian to come here if it was almost time.
Noah checked his watch and answered, "It's halfpast eleven, Mr. Norton."
Half past eleven...
He did a mental calculation and deemed that it was time.
He fished out his phone and sent Vivian a text message.
Finnick: Come to the park now. The one we always goto.
After he hit the send button, Vivian's reply came almost immediately.
Vivian: What are you doing there?
Afraid of giving himself away, Finnick did not reply to her, thinking that it was best to refrain from speaking unnecessarily.
The proposal was a surprise and he did not want to accidentally spoil it.
"Get into position, everyone." After Finnick gave the green light, Noah ordered everyone to give it their all to ensure the proposal was a success.
Vivian was already worried about Finnick as it was, so after he contacted her, she wasted no time, doing exactly as he had instructed.
After grabbing her stuff in record time, she pulled out of the garage once again.
On the way there, she tried to guess what he was up to, but she just couldn't find an answer.
In the end, she simply gave up, reassuring herself to she would find out upon reaching the park they frequented.
