"To be young is really good!" she suddenly said, sighing. Internally, she felt confused. When she was a teen, she had been busy with paying her father's debts. After that, she got into a strange circle. Actually, during those years, she forgot that she was a teenager.
True, maybe it was unfavorable for her when she met Brian back then, but now, it has been proven time and time again that indeed, she had become the world's luckiest girl when she met him.
"As long as you keep being young in your heart, you will not grow old." It was rare for Brian to say something like that. With smile on his lips and a loving expression on his face, he looked at Molly and silently encouraged her to join in on the dancing party.
Upon understanding what Brian was trying to say, she earnestly shook her head and dispelled his suggestion. However, she quickly turned to him, her eyes naughty and cunning. With a playful voice, she said, "You know what? Why don't you go instead?"
Just as Molly said that, Brian burst into laughter. It was very easy for him to shoot someone, but to dance? That's really something that he couldn't do.
"Hey, guys! Come join us! Let's dance!" Suddenly, two young girls came forward, and dragged them into the dance group.
Many people were also dragged inside the circle of dancing, just like them. While they were all shy at first, all of them gradually began dancing, enjoying the music and everyone around them. Some people's dance steps may be out of sync, awkward, or what people would call "bad", but nothing could prevent them from dancing as they started to feel the music, which instantly gave them energy to move and have fun.
In a great cheer of "ooh", Molly laughed loudly. Brian just standing next to her, with his deep-set eyes starting to look darker and darker by the second.
Well, Molly had reasons to laugh. Even if she cheated, she had won and had finally declared her ownership of Brian.
However, Brian was the happier person between the two of them, because he saw that she declared that he belonged to her without any conditions. Maybe, just maybe, he was the happiest man in the world at that moment. For a long time, Molly lacked a sense of security. It persisted even if she had become stronger after she came back from the UK. While she was always strong and infallible, she only used it to hide her own fears. Deep inside, she was still the same old coward as before.
But today, she did it!
He didn't ask her to be strong - he didn't even ask if he could protect her! However, he needed her to be determined to stay with him.
The music was thumping, People had forgotten what their age and even gender were. They were just lost in the music, having fun. At that moment, they were free to be themselves, without any pretense. Therefore, when blue and red lights started flashing and a siren rang loudly, everyone was confused and did not know what was happening.
"All! Get down now! Hands on your head!" Someone shouted through a megaphone. The police officers then came with batons in their hands, and circled around those who had danced.
At once, there were shouts and demands for explanation.
"Bri?" Molly looked blank at the police and turned to Brian.
