Sabrina lowered her head and tasted the cake.

She absentmindedly scooped up a piece and took a bite, her mind already wandering elsewhere.

The fact that Trevor proclaimed his feelings for her caught her off guard.

But, this newfound relationship could offer a plausible reason for her to dig deeper into matters concerning the Faulkner family.

She came to understand that throughout Trevor's younger years, Zeke had kept certain truths hidden. Trevor's unwavering faith in his father meant that any direct questions might yield answers shaped by Zeke's narrative.

Navigating this situation, she had to tread lightly, devising a way to coax valuable insights out of Trevor without making him suspect anything.

Regrettably, her deceptions took a toll. As Trevor's affection for her deepened, she felt the weight of inevitable disappointment. The quandary of addressing the issue hung over her like a cloud.

“Would you like more?" Trevor inquired, noticing Sabrina's empty dessert plate.

Laying down her fork, Sabrina responded, “No. Thank you."

“Should we head out now? It's still early. Let's go for a walk by the river," Trevor suggested, a cheerful twinkle in his eyes.

It could be seen that Trevor was pleased tonight and didn't want to part with her.

She smiled back and said, "Sounds good."

Reaching the car park, Trevor headed to the driver's side, boasting, "You know, I just got my driver's License. Mind if I drive?"

Sabrina handed him the keys and took the passenger seat.

The air conditioner was blasting out warm air, quickly heating up the car.

Resting against the seat, Sabrina gazed outside, taking in the receding cityscape.

Trevor, on the other hand, was laser—focused on the road.

Their new relationship status had quieted their usual banter. It felt like they were still adjusting to this fresh intimacy.

The car ride was wrapped in silence.

After what felt like ages, during a red light halt, Trevor popped a question. "Sabrina, can I announce our relationship on social media?"
