Happiness, Just Out of Reach

Summary

After my grandpa receives a critical notice regarding his illness, he takes my boyfriend, Layne Harper, by the hand and pleads with him.

"Layne, please marry Aleah while I'm still alive this month. I want to see her live happily ever after."

Everyone sheds tears in the hospital room, thinking that Layne will heed Grandpa's words right away by getting down on one knee and proposing to me.

After all, I have been waiting for him for the past ten years.

With tears brimming in my eyes, I wait for Layne's response eagerly.
