It was Cadence who was rude first, so she nodded and strolled through the streets of Rome with Brayan.
“Dr. Pratt, did you also come to Rome for sightseeing?”
Brayan nodded, “After Ms. Valencia was discharged from the hospital, the hospital arranged a vacation for me. I was thinking of traveling around Europe. and coincidentally, I ran into Ms. Valencia.”
Brayan’s refreshing smile shone brightly under the sun on the streets of Rome
Cadence was dizzy from Brayan’s smile, and she quickly said, “Dr. Pratt, you’re too kind. Just call me Cadence.”
Brayan also replied, “Then Cadence can call me Brayan.”
The sky over Home was clear and blue, and the two of them strolled to Trinity Church.
Sitting side by side on the stone steps, enjoying the breeze, Brayan suddenly asked.
“Cadence, can you tell me why you came to Europe?
Seeing Cadence’s silence, Brayan quickly waved his hand and said, “I’m sorry, Cadence, I didn’t mean to pry into your privacy. I just wanted to know why you suffered such severe injuries and still insisted on coming to Paris from Centronia for treatment.”
Brayan paused and said, “I was once sent by the hospital to Centronia to participate in an academic conference. The medical standards in Centronia are no less than those in France, and your injury is not beyond treatment..
Cadence interrupted Brayan and said, “Because I went through terrible things back in my home country, I even teetered on the edge of life and death, almost losing everything ”
Brayan looked apologetic and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know about these
Cadence looked into Brayan’s azure eyes and said, “It’s okay, Brayan, Many things have already passed, you just need to let go of them and embrace a new
In Brayan’s eyes reflected Cadence’s serene laughter, as a gentle breeze brushed through her loose hair, softly caressing Brayan’s nose.
A slight ripple arose in Brayan’s heart, and he hurriedly lowered his head to conceal has own uneasiness
“Cadence,” Brayan extended his hand towards her, “I would like to retract my previous invitation. I not only want to invite you to accompany me to Rome, but also, if possible, invite you to spend the entire vacation with me:
Cadence’s heart fluttered slightly as she placed her hand on top of Brayan’s hand,
“I was h
honored to receive your invitation,”
A smile appeared on Brayan’s face, “I knew there was a very
was a very nice café nearby.
The two of them walloed into a cafe side by side, where the sound of a gentle piano could be heard.
Cadence stood still and adrained the various paintings hanging in the gallery, constantly marveling in her heart.
Brayan explained affectionately. “This was the oldest café in Rome, , and famous sculptors, writers, and even musicians from Italy were regulars here.” The two of them took their seats one after another, and the waiter in a tailcoat
spoke
e to them to
their orders,
Cadence ordered a cup of black tea, while Brayan ordered a cup of latte and also ordered a croissant
Cadence quietly admired the interior decoration of the shop, while Brayan pushed a freshly baked croissant with the scent of wheat towards her “Try it.” Brayan smiled gently at her,
Brayan bit into the crispy and soft croissant, the rich creamy aroma invaded her taste buds. She chewed it slowly, while a hint of citrus lingered on her palate,
“It was so delicious…” Cadence put down the croissant in her hand, hanging her head, and tears kept falling on the table, one after another.
Brayan was suddenly at a loss, so he got up and walked over to Cadence. He gently embraced her in his arms.
“Cadence, what’s wrong?” Brayan gently comforted her, while patting her back to soothe her.
“L. I had a little dog named Luci before
Cadence desperately suppressed her sobbing, but tears continued to fall in large drops.

“It was severely injured by someone, and in order to protect me, it accidentally fell from the second floor…”
Brayan gently rested Cadence’s head on his shoulder, allowing her tears to dampen the fabric.
“Every time I bought croissants and brought them home, Loci would put her head on my lap and stare at me with wide eyes as I ate the croissants.”
Cadence suddenly burst into laughter and said, “You know what, its drool sometimes even soaked a large portion of my pants…”
Brayan gently stroked her back and comforted her tenderly, “I understand the pain of losing a dog, and I have no reason to make you forget all of this.”
“But,” Brayan’s gentle tone seemed to hold a magical power, “if you miss it, you can come to my house. I also have a little dog, maybe it can comfort
you.”
Cadence hastily wiped away a tear and said, “Really… thank you, Brayan…”
Brayan gently crouched down in front of her, his azure eyes resembling a gentle ocean.
“It is true, it was a Bernese mountain dog named Duffy,”
Cadence couldn’t help but laugh when she heard the words “Duffy“.
Who would have thought that the elegant and handsome Dr. Pratt, would shout “Duffy” every day at home.
Brayan wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and a shimmering light flickered in her gaze.

“Do you know why I suddenly stopped you at the wishing pool?”
Cadence shook her head repeatedly, whille Brayan looked at her with a gentle smile
didn’t linger
You were wearing a white long dress and soft strap sandals, with the wide–brimmed ribbon of your straw hat blowing in the wind. Your gaze dix on me at all, but only watched the people passing by on the street.
Brayan’s eyes smiled even more, “I was thinking, this person seems like Audrey Hepburn in black and white films, so gentle, so beautiful.”
Cadence’s heart leapt in her chest, the sound of her heartbeat drowning out everything around her, leaving only her and the gentle Brayan in front of her.
“So, I approached you and recognized you, it was my selfish desire to invite you to accompany me on a trip to Rome.”
“But I became even more greedy afterwards, and I hoped that you could accompany me throughout the entire vacation in Europe.”
Brayan’s handsome features were getting closer and closer in front of Cadence’s eyes, and her mind instantly went blank
A slight coolness was felt on her cheek as Brayan’s lips lightly landed on the right side of her face, and then immediately separated.
“Sorry,” Brayan said with a hint of apology, “but fortunately, you won’t be shedding tears anymore”
