A light breeze blew through him, bringing the snowflakes in from the trees around him and from the sky above. He imagined what Molly was like at that moment, and the corner of his mouth lifted up unconsciously.
"Mr. Brian Long," said a man in a winter coat as he walked up to Brian, "We have finished most of the arrangements. We will try to handle the rest of it according to your instructions."
Turning his back, Brian looked around and nodded.
The man looked around the place and asked, "Besides, do you need us to help you with those snow-"
"No," interrupted Brian, "I will make them by myself."
A sense of determination swarmed over Brian and a triumphant smile crept over his face. He stood there proud and satisfied with what he had done.
The snow grew heavier after Molly finished dinner. She stood at the window and watched the flying snowflakes in the night light. Her old memories with Brian in snow flashed through her mind, and a warm smile appeared on her face.
Her eyes glittered when something suddenly crossed her mind. She rushed towards her room and got changed.
After a while, she left the house, wrapped in thick clothes. Standing at the door, she suddenly realized that it was already nine o'clock at night, and it would be inconvenient for Tony and John to send her to that place.
Pressing her lips tightly she hesitated at first. Then finally, she glanced at the gates with a reluctant look and decided to return to the house.
"Mrs. Molly Long," Tony's voice came from the side, "Where do you want to go?"
Molly turned to the direction of the voice and saw Tony walking up to her. She said hesitantly, "Tony, you..."
"I just returned from the Grand Night," replied Tony respectfully. He glanced at Molly's hesitant look and smiled secretly as he offered, "If you want to go out, I can drive you to your destination."
Upon hearing his words, Molly immediately nodded her head with eagerness.
After they got into the car, Molly said about a place, and Tony started to drive towards there.
Finally, they arrived at the park where Molly had come with Brian one snowy night. Standing at the gate, Molly felt her heart was filled with happiness. Recalling the blissful memory, she murmured, "It's here! The place where I made my confession to Bri."
Tony looked inside and said with a smile, "I will be just right behind you. You can do as you wish."
Molly looked a bit puzzled but didn't refuse Tony's proposal. After all, it was dangerous for her to move around alone considering that she was pregnant.
Light creaks echoed at the silent night as Molly stepped on the snow. She moved along the way where she had walked with Brian in the past, and she thought about him, his voice, and his warm hand. Surreally, she felt as if he was holding her hand next to her, and they slowly walked towards their happy future together.
Just at that moment, a twinkle came from the darkness in front of her.
Molly stopped in vigilance. Suddenly, the trees around her became bright. She observed and found that the branches were decorated with many colored lights.
Following the array of lights, she slowly tilted her head and moved forward. Finally, the lights stopped at an arch made of white and blue cloth decorated with white lilies.
From behind the arch, Brian in his black suit slowly stepped out with a bunch of lilies in his hand. With eyes full of passion, he looked at Molly who was freezing in front of him and lifted the corner of his mouth.
