Am I supposed to tell him that we divorced once and have reunited now?
Just when Vivian was about to answer, Finnick beat her to it.
"Yes." Just a simple word caused her heart to pound rapidly against her chest.
Finnick clapped twice and a man wheeled over a cart that had a cloth covering it.
Vivian was intrigued. What's with all the mystery?
"Let's open it together, Vivian." Finnick took her hand and grabbed the corner of the cloth together.
Thinking that it was a gift from him, Vivian opened it up with curiosity.
The swishing sound of the cloth being lifted could be heard, but the crowd's collective gasps drowned it out.
It wasn't a gift, but a wedding gown that was exclusively designed by an international designer. And there was the only one of it in the entire world.
Vivian gaped at the pure white wedding gown in front of her, taking in its vintage design and the intricate embroidery all over the skirt.
Every stitch and thread showed how much dedication the designer poured into this wedding gown.
The workmanship was excellent and it was as though the designer sewed his or her love into the very gown.
Vivian had received too many surprises since walking into the park. As she looked at the wedding gown in front of her, her mind went blank.
She, who had always been an eloquent speaker, was truly lost for words. All she could do was stare at Finnick.
Finnick initially thought that she was going to say something, but when she kept silent after a long time, he realized that she couldn't find the right words to say.
He tucked her hair behind her ear and said affectionately, "You don't need to say anything. Just marry me."
When Vivian nodded dumbly in response, a deep laugh rumbled from his chest.
Then, he urged her to put on the gown so that they could go home together.
But Vivian giggled in amusement when she heard his suggestion. "I've never seen anyone going home in a wedding gown."
"Well, then. You'll be the first."
With no way to refute, Vivian went behind a curtain to slip on the wedding gown and walked out after quite sometime.
