The next day, Marie awoke happy, a smile on her lips. After a while, she checked her phone. When she checked, she noticed some messages—that had been sent while she had been asleep—from the boy to whom she had to say goodbye to the previous night.

Marie went downstairs for breakfast, and chatted with her parents and sister for some time. After she ate, she went to the family room and sat on the couch as she went back to her messages.

Hours later, Marie watched Aladdin. As she did, she smiled. She clearly loved the tale...or maybe she loved the idea that it brought on.

It was night now, everyone else in the Santiago house asleep; everyone except for Marie. Her mind went over her conversation with Cameron from hours ago. Once he said that he would surprise her, she was left in shock; not doubting him with that but also in shock over the fact of what could be said.
The fact that 'I love you' could be said; that it could pass from his lips, and be meant for her and only her.
