"What happened? What happened?" Penny anxiously asked, the story getting to her head, making her excited like a little girl once again.
She grew up reading fairy tales, after all.
"Haha, we continued to talk to each other for months. And you know, when time passes and you are still on good terms, feelings start to change and develop. Despite being far away, he was very attentive. He would make sure to text me frequently or call despite the time difference and the like. When compared to my ex, he was actually better.
His mother was nice, and already met my family. I thought to myself that since his mother is that good, then the son shouldn’t be bad as well; I mean the character."
"And the face?" Penny asked excitedly.
Diamond’s lips curled upwards as Gael’s face appeared in her mind.
"He is handsome. The nerd kind," she responded smilingly, throwing a playful wink at Penny.
Penny was confused with this response but didn’t remain that way for long. Since she couldn’t picture it now, she could wait patiently until he arrives. She would judge in person.
"I am someone who doesn’t like to procrastinate if I like something. So, I told myself that when he comes to the country, I will have him confess or just confess to him. Either way, we now have feelings for each other despite not saying it openly. So why not just date and see where this goes.
So, when he finally came to the country, I was thinking on how to do it, but then he just confessed when we were on the road. He brought a ring, slipped it on my finger," she smilingly said, dangling the finger with the two rings intertwined together.
Upon seeing that, Penny’s eyes brightened up as she finally understood that these rings weren’t just fashion rings but meaningful ones. But why were there two instead of one?
As if sensing that, Diamond added, "we just renewed our rings. But I couldn’t throw away the old one. So, I am wearing both."
It was only then that Penny understood what was happening, and after digesting that reality, she couldn’t help but give Diamond a thumb up.
"That’s really something out of a novel scene."
"Yes, it was kind of sweet. Never thought that my next relationship will turn out into a long distance one," she amusedly spoke, thinking about how she upgraded from cities, to continents in a matter of months.
"Haha, it must be tough, right?"
"Sometimes, but I am a busy person and so is he. Besides, we always chat daily. So, our relationship doesn’t get strained like others."
"That must be nice."
