Upon receiving the command, the two flight attendants tactfully exited the aircraft, leaving the space to the couple.

Sending the crew away was purposeful. As the plane glided down the runway and lifted into the sky, Tina couldn't keep still, trying to snuggle up against Phillip. He firmly pushed her back into her seat and fastened her seatbelt.

"Stay put."

Tina managed to sit still for a bit, but as soon as the plane broke through the clouds and steadied, she unbuckled herself and moved to sit on Phillip's lap.

And then she teased him, "Phillip, you're such a catch. How do you always manage to be so appealing?"

In her eyes, he seemed different from the man others saw. It was the first time Phillip had ever been described as a charmer, taking him a moment to process.

"I don't recall doing anything to seduce you."

Her logic was defiant, "But you did."

Phillip didn't argue further, holding her close, his kiss landing softly on her cheek. Tina tilted her head up, eagerly meeting his advance.

With Phillip's hand gently caressing her neck, love overflowed in the intimacy of their entwined lips, melting into their shared breath, slowly fermenting into a profound desire for each other. The fire burned slowly at first, then wildly, hotter than ever before.

Tina pulled at his tie, shrugged off his suit jacket, and tossed it aside. Phillip lifted her in his arms, walking further in. She clung to him, gently biting his earlobe.

He laid her down on the bed, securing her restless legs, his gaze intensely deep, "Can't even wait two hours?"

"Time is of the essence!" Tina flipped over, pushing him down, straddling him.

In the light turbulence, her waist in his grasp, arms wrapped around his neck.

The love they had been cautious to express finally found its outlet, removing any barriers between them.

"I'm totally head over heels for you! I can't help myself," she blurted out, "I'm totally smitten."

When the plane landed in Stonebridge, it was already past midnight. Tina stayed with Phillip for a few hours before catching a flight back to Capital City.

Hamilton, with a stern face, looked like he wanted to give her a lecture but eventually held back.

The Watson elders were pleased with the outcome, who wouldn't want a better match for their grandchild?

Eva, lightly scolding Tina, advised her not to be so headstrong and to treat Phillip well.

Tina responded cheerily, "We're great, Grandma. He even gave me a kiss goodbye before work this morning."

Bertha offered her two cents, "You

you a good talking to." Content

Tina, in a good mood, didn't retort but playfully warned, "He's got my back, what about it? Don't make me tell my husband on you." Bertha was speechless.

Phillip's bold move became the talk of Capital City overnight. Tina's friends called up, teasing about when they planned to marry.

Tina replied, "Wow, rushing us into marriage, aren't you?"

"What's the big deal? If it weren't for you being a drama queen, you two might already have kids."

"Who are you calling a drama queen?"

After a brief squabble over the phone, Tina, walking in the garden, plucked a flower, saying, "He mentioned there's no rush for marriage."

"Huh?" Her friend was puzzled, "Then why go through all that effort to snatch you from Alfred?"

Tina had asked Phillip the same question the night before.

Lying in Phillip's apartment bed, barely awake, she wondered if he was having second thoughts.

"Does your proposal last time not count anymore?"

Phillip understood her aversion and fear of marriage, something not easily dissolved by a simple "I love you."

Her friend sighed in envy, "How on earth did you land such an amazing guy?"

"Because I'm awesome," Tina boasted.

Tina visited her mother's grave, bringing her some flowers.

Her mother had been gone so long, Tina nearly forgot what it felt like to be cherished by her. If her mother could see her now, she'd suro happy.
