Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 880

"Of course, it's for you, so no more pouting, okay?"

Alyssa took the bunch of daisies with her head bowed, a blush on her cheeks. "Thanks."

It was the first time she'd received flowers from Michael.

They weren't roses, but to her, they felt infinitely more precious. Inside, it felt like there was a meadow in her heart, blooming with wildflowers. She was elated.

The world seemed to light up around her. She started singing, hopping and skipping around. It was a moment just for her and Michael.

Later, Michael returned to Julia, whispering in her ear with a smirk, "The girl's never seen much of life, easy to impress."

Julia rolled her eyes at him.

That night, the three of them lay on a haystack in the yard, gazing at the stars.

The countryside was different from the city. A glittering river of stars moved slowly overhead. So distant, yet seemingly within reach.

"It's so beautiful," Alyssa couldn't help but sigh.

Julia, lying in the middle, said with a smile, "If you like it, you can come over anytime. There's not much in the countryside, but you can't see the sky full of stars in the city."

Alyssa's lips curved into a smile.

Yet, in her heart, she knew that she would never come back.

This memory was enough.

If there was a next time, she knew she would only want more. She was already wanting more.
