This was all totally out of the blue for Erica.
She never thought Larkin would say that. Tears were practically spilling over the brim of her eyes.
She didn't mind the onlookers, she just held Larkin tight, "I won’t, I've got nothing for him anymore. You're the only one in my heart, Larkin.”
A soft smile spread across Larkin's face.
His chin rested on her head, gently patting her back, "We might miss the great migration in Kenya this time, but you have to promise me that you'll join me next year."
Erica nodded her head like a bobblehead, "Not just the great migration in Kenya, I'll go around the world with you!"
"Deal."
Larkin patted her back as if calming a child.
They had a quick lunch.
When Larkin went to pay the bill, he also picked up the tab for a table of girls who had been watching them in awe.
He even ordered an extra signature dessert from the shop for them.
Because it was too pricey, the girls didn't order it.
When the dessert was served, the girls were shocked to find out that Larkin not only paid their bill but also got them a big cake.
They were all gobsmacked.
Until...
"Did you guys take a picture earlier?" asked one of the girls with bangs.
The rest were taken aback, "Didn't you?"
"I thought you guys did!"
They all exclaimed in unison.
"Woah! They were hugging for ages!"
"Where's the GoPro for the vlog?" They rummaged around.
The girls got more and more excited.
In the end, they discussed whether to post about today's encounter.
"He not only paid our bill but also treated us to cake, maybe we should wait. If we bump into them again, we could share the story then!"
They quickly came to an agreement.
Then, with full bellies, they happily continued their journey.

Erica quickly bought a new phone and contacted Rosalynn with a temporary SIM card.
She was in a hurry to get back because she was worried about Jacob. If anything happened to Jacob, Rosalynn would definitely be there.
Rosalynn quickly picked up the call when she saw the unfamiliar IP address.
"Rosalynn, it's me, Erica!"
