Based on Felicia walking pace. They arrived 10 minutes later as the room that they book was near the garden. The garden turns out to be more beautiful and marvelous than Felicia expected.
There were many types of roses planted that add in a delightful smell that wafts through the midnight air. The moonlight washed the garden with a white glow making them look more glittering and enchanted.
There were many couples taking a stroll while snuggling with each other. Felicia and Ian sit on a white wooden bench near a small lake. The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful, occasionally, Felicia can hear cricket sound and the whisper between a couple that strolls near them.
As other couples spend their time happily with their partner. There was one awkward couple that sits far from each other. Ian sat at the edge of the bench while Felicia sat in the middle of the bench.
Ian sits straight and looks stiff. While Felicia will occasionally take a peak and almost laughed to death watching how awkward Ian looks.
"Do you have to sit so far from me? It's not like I'm going to eat you? So how about you came sit here beside me. It will be easier for us to talk!"
Xu Ren was startle before he moves slowly sitting beside Felicia.
" ............Are you fine....with me?"
"What?" Felicia look confusingly
"..Cough...I mean are you okay...with me...as... your fiancee"Ian says awkwardly.

"Yes, I mean. I won't come if I did not agree" Felicia smile slightly
" You know, I am a boring guy and I may have not much time to spend with you. If you want me to cancel the engagement, I will figure it out without implicated you. But...if you're okay with me. I promise to do my responsibility as your fiancee properly and never betray you" Ian look seriously at Felicia.
Felicia was surprised how straightforward Ian turn out to be. It was her first time meeting someone so straightforward and serious like him. In an apocalypse, there were not many survivors with this straight and honest personality.
That type of person usually died first. As they easily trusted on other thus they betray by their teammates, lover, and friends. So, Felicia, was rest assure to accept Ian as his fiancee. Still, she has to somehow change him a bit as not to be too naive and easily cheat.
"I accept you and also will do my best as your fiancee and never betray you. I promise to make you happy" Felicia took Xu Ren hands and say gently.
Xu Ren was shocked when Felicia held his hand but hearing Felicia answer make him smile unconsciously. Felicia receives Xu Ren first smile, his smile was genuinely sweet and bright. His eyes lighten up and two small cute dimples appear. Like a snow that melts as the sunshine appear.
An unexpected warmth fills inside Felicia. She hopes he can always smile and avoid his miserable fate. Ian grasps back Felicia's hand, he looks at her gently.
"I too will try my best to make you happy"
It was like a sincere vow between them. The moon witness and bless this happy couple. After that small episode, the barrier between them was disappearing. They become more ease with each other, they can already have some small skin contact. Mostly it was Felicia, Xu Ren look too shy to attempt so Felicia try to have him get used to her presence,
Afterall, Felicia read that a small skin-contact can close-up relationship. An hour later Felicia father came to take her home while trying his best not to glare at his soon to be son-in-law. Felicia gives a wry smile looking at her father behavior.
Saying goodbye to each other and exchanging contact info. They get inside their own car and went home.
Felicia was happy as they progress faster than she expected, She even manages to make Xu Ren call his nickname 'Fefe' and she will call him Ian.
Overall today meeting was a success.
