In the company of Ethan and his mates, she’d always been the epitome of a well–behaved young lady, Cussing? That was out of the question.Â
Ethan, unlike the gossip–hungry Andrew, who was always cager to dig deep, simply flashed a smile at Shawn and said, “Congrats.”Â
Shawn, looking a bit down in the dumps, replied, “Hold your horses on the congrats. I’m not sure I can win her over.”Â
Andrew got riled up at this. “What chick’s that blind? Turning you down, of all people?”Â
“She’s one of a kind.” Shawn grinned.Â
Andrew just scoffed and rolled his eyes, clearly not keen on further chat.Â
Meanwhile, Nancy stood rooted to the spot, her mind in a whirl after Shawn’s words.Â
It seemed far–fetched that he was referring to her as the object of his affection.Â
But then, there were no other women around him.Â
Just then, following a successful proposal down below, balloons were set free.Â

A sea of colorful balloons rose from the ground, floating higherÂ

However, Nancy was oblivious to the romance. Her gaze landed on Shawn, who stood about a couple of feet away.Â
She sauntered over and casually brushed her hand against hisÂ
arm.Â
Feeling the touch, Shawn whipped his head around. Seeing it was Nancy, he took a step back.Â
“Hey, Nancy, if Ethan catches this, he’ll be jealous,” he whispered.Â
Nancy stared at him, a moment of realization dawning. “Oh, sorry,” she mumbled.Â
Shawn barely glanced at her. “No worries.”Â
And he put a bit more distance between them.Â
At that moment, Nancy was pretty much convinced she wasn’t the girl Shawn had feelings for.Â
The proposal scene was a riot of excitement. Even Ethan was swept up in the romantic fervor.Â
Amid the four of them, Nancy was the odd one out, her thoughts wandering elsewhere.Â
After the balloons soared into the sky, Ethan suddenly noticed Nancy looking glum. He walked over and asked, “Are you feeling okay? You look a bit under the weather.”Â

Turning to him, Nancy forced a smile. “A bit, yeah.”Â
Ethan took her arm. “It’s cold out here. Let’s head back.”Â
Nancy nodded. “Sure thing.”Â
With that, Ethan led her out of the crowd.Â

Andrew lost all interest in the spectacle. Once Nancy left with Ethan, his mood soured.Â
As for Shawn, he was lost in the romance, daydreaming about popping the question to his sweetheart one day.Â
Ethan pulled up at Joy Gardens, parked his car, and stepped out. Suddenly, a shadow lunged from the corner by theÂ
entrance.Â
Before he could make sense of what was happening, the figure grabbed his arms tightly. With a panicked stutter, the voice said, “Ethan, A… Alexander’s gone crazy. Pe… Penelope…”Â
Just then, Nancy emerged from the passenger side.Â
As the car door shut with a soft thud, she squinted into the dimness and called out, “Tyrone?”Â
At the sound of her voice, Tyrone retreated into the shadows like a startled deer.Â
Looking like a wreck, he didn’t want Nancy to see him in such aÂ
sorry state.Â

Tyrone turned his face to the wall and waved her off.Â

“Nancy, I–I’m fine,” he said with forced calmness, though his voice was still a bit shaky.Â
Nancy wasn’t convinced and was about to press on when Ethan intervened. “Nancy, head back. I’ll talk to Tyrone alone.”Â
With a sigh, Nancy gave in. “Okay, then.”Â
Once Nancy was out of sight, Ethan got back in the car and motioned for Tyrone. “Get in.”Â
Tyrone peeked around to make sure Nancy was gone, then climbed in quickly.Â
Ethan hit the gas, and they sped away from Joy Gardens.Â
They pulled over in an open field. Ethan rolled down the window, took out a cigarette, and lit it.Â
As he blew out a puff of smoke, he turned to Tyrone. “So, what’sÂ
upÂ
with Alexander?”Â
Tyrone swallowed hard, his face pale. “Alexander… he chopped off Penelope’s right hand.”Â
Ethan took a long drag on his cigarette, his expression turning grim. “And then?”Â
TyroneÂ

was sweating bullets. “Ethan, you gotta help me.Â

At his plea, Ethan flicked the cigarette out the window. His eyes blazed with anger. “Why the hell didn’t you think about this before you did those stupid things?”Â
