As was her routine, Flossie engaged in conversation with him. “Today, I went to visit my dear friend, Miley. She had an accident due to a misjudgment in her choice of boyfriend and ended up in the hospital.
Thankfully, she’s recovering well now. I was planning to hand over the nurse some tonics and have them delivered to Miley, but I bumped into another friend of mine…”
She paused, a sudden thought crossing her mind. She reached for the handbag beside her and retrieved the invitation card that Stella had given her.
With a warm smile directed at Benny, she said, “I have some good news to share with you, Benny. Stella is getting married!”
Flossie unfolded the invitation and began reading aloud. “Stella and Matthew cordially invite you to their wedding. We eagerly await your presence…”

After she finished reading, she turned her gaze to Benny, but there was still no reaction from him.
Flossie let out a sigh.
Every time she held hope, it seemed to be met with disappointment, over and over again. She had thought she had grown accustomed to speaking to herself and adapting to Benny’s silence, but a hint of disappointment lingered.
With a slight sigh, she closed the invitation and fixed her eyes on Benny. “Please wake up soon. I want to attend Stella’s wedding with you and introduce you to everyone.”
To her astonishment, as soon as she uttered those words, Benny’s eyes suddenly flickered open.
Flossie experienced a brief moment of surprise, swiftly followed by disappointment.
Benny had, on previous occasions, fluttered his eyes open. The initial time it happened, Flossie’s heart brimmed with joy. However, her elation quickly evaporated when the doctor reassured her that it was merely a physiological reflex.
With the passage of time, she grew accustomed to this pattern, responding with momentary astonishment before returning to her usual routine of nonchalance.
Flossie had become somewhat indifferent to Benny’s condition. She stowed away the invitation and continued, “Stella has found an excellent match named Matthew. You might have seen him before. He’s Seamarsh’s wealthiest and most influential individual, not to mention exceedingly handsome.”
As Flossie spoke, a bashful smile played on her lips. “Honestly, I’ve always been fond of you because you bear a striking resemblance to him.”

She intended to continue but noticed Benny blinking several times in quick succession.
Stunned for a moment, she finally snapped back to reality and rushed out to summon the doctor.
When the doctor arrived, Benny moved his hand. Flossie dared not blink, fixating her gaze upon him in fear of succumbing to an illusion.
Following the examination, the doctor turned to Flossie and declared, “Congratulations. Your patience has been rewarded. The patient needs a few more days of rest, after which he’ll gradually regain his mobility.”
Flossie was taken aback by this news. She tightly clasped Benny’s hand, tears streaming down her face. “You’ve finally awakened. I thought I’d have to wait indefinitely.”
After a while, Benny gently squeezed her hand in response.
Flossie beamed with excitement, leaning down to plant a gentle ki*s on his forehead.
Outside the window, the snowfall intensified, as if heralding something significant.
Stella accompanied Miley home, standing at the doorstep, her desire to enter and linger thwarted by Miley’s insistence.
