Just like the structure from the outside of the restaurant, the inside is also somewhat similar to medieval cultures of the country.

Surrounding the place with gold and some browns, the place looks as luxurious as a five-star restaurant in the main city.

"This place is so beautiful. How did you find such a wonderful place?"

Aiden takes a bit of his meal while Daime slices the steak for him, giving him the perfect chance to roam his eyes around the place.

Daime chuckles as he finishes cutting the steak and wiping the excess oil and sauce from the his knife.

"My brother always brings me here whenever he wants to escape the mansion's constant pressure of him marrying one of our own. I have the same reaction as you when I had first seen this place."

Aiden nods his head after taking another bite from his bagels. Daime orders a smoke turkey with cream cheese and a sesame seed bagel. The service is quick that Aiden decides to order more before walking around the park outside.

Daime does not care if he will loose his money today as long as Aiden enjoys this day and forget everything that had happened days before.

After eating their lunch, Aiden is stuffed. He feels light headed and wants to sleep but that is not one of the option now since he wants to explore the place.

"This restaurant serves like a hotel, too. Do you want to sleep first before exploring the area?"

Aiden shakes his head lightly and drinks a glass of cold water and burps.

"No, I can do this. I just ate too much because I want to taste everything."

Cause this might be the last day I will go here and see this place.

But he didn't say it. Daime might ask what is going on and Aiden doesn't know how to deal with that question in mind.

He shakes off the feeling and walks out of the restaurant. Daime is right behind him, deep in his thoughts, knowing that Aiden is bothered by the sudden news of his marriage to Primo.

But why would he? Isn't that what he always wanted? Being with Primo and everything?

Daime only stares at Aiden with his silver eyes. Unknown to the danger that he is in, he tries to enjoy every last bit of this date.

"This could be our last."

Aiden hears Daime murmuring something, making him look at the latter in question and tilts his head.

"Did you say something? I didn't quite hear it."

Daime looks at Aiden and is shocked that he managed to hear tiny bit of what he just said. He smiles and kisses Aiden on the cheeks before hugging him from behind.

Lowering his lips towards Aiden's blushing ear, he whispers the newly version of what he just said earlier.

"I said, please don't walk too fast. You might get stomache."

Aiden nods in understanding as he looks up to Daime and asks the younger for a kiss. This is the life that Aiden wants. A peaceful life surrounded by nature and being with his lover.

Yes.

Aiden knows that the time has come for him to choose. It will take time for him to decide and will probably create mistakes along the way but he wants to be certain of who will he choose.

For him, this decision matters like life and death. But that will take time tomorrow, for now, he wants to enjoy this date.

"So, where will we start?"

Daime chuckles as he removes his giant arms around Aiden's waist and smiles. Pointing towards South, Aiden can see the themed gardens and flowers including tulips, peonies, irises, roses and day lilies.

Aiden is never a flower expert but he knows a tiny fact about them, especially their meanings. Daime smiles at Aiden's reaction of the beautiful flowerbeds and the wood works of the place.

Looking back at the waitress with blonde braided hair, he takes Aiden's hand and drags him towards the flowers that is surely dear to him.

"These are peonies. They symbolizes wealth, good luck and honor. I learn about it when I was curious about the pink flowers that my father owned back in the old mansion.

My grandma used to tell me that flowers have meanings and they are use to speak out true feelings to a special someone."

Aiden holds the smooth and wet petals of the peony that is in front of him right now. Daime is only listening to him, scared to interrupt Aiden's monologue about flowers and some other things.

Daime is scared and it shows to his face. It's just Aiden does not have a good observation skill, perfect for Daime who usually hides his feelings among other things.

"Oh, look! They have purple irises in here."

Daime looks at Aiden, whose eyes are sparkling like the night sky filled with stars. He will miss them but there is nothing he can do but accept his fate.

He already talked to his sister way after reading the information from the folder and his sister accepts his offer of help around their coffee shop.

He doesn't care whether he will be caught or not but he wants to get away as much as possible from the Santoro mansion.

"Did you know that purple irises represents admiration? Flowers have different meaning depending on the color they have.

Foe example, white irises are ideal for bridal bouquets because these blooms symbolizes purity. But that is not super helpful since purity has a various definition."

Aiden looks at Daime who is in deep thoughts. He made his way to the younger and touches his muscular arms, hoping that this gesture will get rid of whatever that bothers Daime right now.

But it didn't seem to work. Daime looks at Aiden with his comforting silver eyes as he leans forward and is about to kiss Aiden.

He stops halfway through and Aiden opens his eyes. He gasps at how beautiful yet longing those silver eyes that Daime possesses.

Making him want them to look at them even more.

"If I ask you to run away with me, will you do it?"

Aiden's eyes widen in surprise and stares at Daime, his eyes asking Daime silently what he means about running away.

"Run away with me, Aiden. Away from the family and away from Primo. Let's live our lives without restriction and sudden marriage offers. Come with me."

Aiden looks at Daime as he holds out his hand and waits for Aiden to holds it back. His heart pounds loudly in his chest, making him nervous of what the future holds.

But if he runs away with Daime, what will happen to Primo? He is contemplating while wanting to try.

But… that's what is stopping him. His series of what ifs and buts. That's when Aiden realizes that, one wrong decision can lead to both of their demise or peacefulness.

He needs more time.
