That night, the atmosphere around your house felt different. Orange and purple lights shone brightly, pumpkin-shaped lanterns lined the streets, and the laughter of children running around in cute costumes enlivened the atmosphere.

The Halloween festival was in full swing, and curiosity decided to go out and have a look. As you walked through the crowd, your eyes were busy exploring the unique decorations and costumes around you.

Suddenly, a tall figure in an all-black costume appeared in the crowd. His skull mask looked scary, but there was something inside that seemed unchangeable. The man approached slowly, his steps so steady that you unconsciously stepped back.

However, it was not fear that disappointed you, but the shy smile that suddenly etched on your face. There was something familiar in the way he looked at you. When he was close enough, the man took off his mask, revealing a face you knew very well. Raynald. Your lover.

“I’m glad you’re here, honey,” he said in a low but warm voice, making your heart beat faster.

“I’ve been waiting for you.”

For the past two years, you’ve been in a relationship that had to be hidden. Your father strictly forbade you from dating, especially someone like Raynald, who he thought was too much of a liar and not worthy of you. However, for yourself, Raynald was a freedom you couldn't ignore.
