After saying that, he swept Nancy off her feet and headed out.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the amusement park.-
When Cyrus and Nancy walked in, a minivan pulled up.
A woman in a dazzling red dress stepped out, gazing in the direction Nancy and he had left with a mockingly beautiful gaze.
The park manager hurried over. “Ms. Grant, you’re finally here. Everything’s ready and waiting for you!”
Holding Nancy’s hand, Cyrus quickly went through all the attractions at the amusement park.
They swiftly covered most games, from the merry–go–round to bumper cars and the pirate ship.
They finished the last ride. Suddenly, Cyrus let go of Nancy’s hand, and when he returned a few minutes later, he was holding a pink cotton candy shaped like a heart.
“Nancy, forgive me for last night’s absence. You know my heart is always yours! I swear it!”
With those words, Cyrus dropped to one knee,
Already a striking couple, many had their eyes on Cyrus and Nancy. At that moment, Cyrus‘ gesture instantly drew everyone’s attention.

times. And sure enough, Hayley was live streaming!
When Nancy opened the live stream, she saw Hayley in the middle of the amusement park, surrounded by a crowd of people who all had smug looks on their faces.
“Believe it or not, my smart followers might have guessed why I’m promoting this amusement park. It’s because this park is a gift from my boyfriend.”
