“Good-bye Professor Ng.”
As all the students clear the classroom, Ron turns to Leila, who once again, is last to pack her stuff and leave.
Leila looks up after closing her bag, and sees Ron standing at the front of the class looking back at her, and knowingly smiles.

“How come you never told me Edison liked Rain,” Ron asks, as he drives Leila home.
Leila, not looking up at Ron, but straight ahead, ironically smiles, “Does this not feel like some sort of TV series on the run?” she asks.
Ron smiles agreeing, “People are always saying that TV is unrealistic and overly exaggerated, and though it may be exaggerated, it is far from unrealistic, especially with relationships.”
Leila chuckles at the comment and looks towards Ron, “So are you saying that somehow, we’ll end up getting involved with this whole mix of relationships?” she teases.
“Probably,” Ron goes along, looking over at Leila.

“So are you going to tell me what the flowers were for yesterday?” Rain asks Raymond while they were walking hand in hand near the dock of ocean, with the night darkening to a glistening black.
Raymond looks at Rain, then back straight ahead, and asks her in return, “Couldn’t it be for a no occasion?”
“No, Michelle said that guys are only willing to do things for us, if they did something wrong,” Rain informs him.
Raymond, feeling guilty, stops walking as he turns to stand right in front of Rain, holding both her hand in his.
Seeing his change in expression, Rain smiles, “Don’t worry, Leila said that guys are only willing to do things for us, if they truly love the person.”
Looking at Rain’s innocent features, “How about you?” Raymond asks. “I know what Michelle and Leila thinks, but what about you? What do you think?”
Rain smiles mischievously, rolling her eyes up to the night sky, “Don’t know.”
“Yesterday marks the first month from the day I first met you,” Raymond reveals to Rain, catching her attention, as she looks at him. “Rain, I don’t know what others say about my relationships in the past, but I do know that this relationship is for real.”
Rain continuing to look at Raymond, does not know what to say, standing there, touched by his words and sincerity.
Raymond then leans towards Rain and gently kisses her on the forehead, as Rain closes her eyes at the gesture.

Walking into Michelle’s office, Edison, seeing that Michelle was not in, decides to place the file onto her desk and leave. Placing the file onto her desk, Edison notices a group photo of Leila, Michelle, and Rain. Picking it up, his sight goes straight to Rain, looking at the lively nature of her character. Gently running his finger across her picture, he does not notice anyone approaching.
“Edison?”

“So, what happened with Raymond and you last night that’s making you so cheerful this whole morning?” Leila asks, as Rain and her sat down in the coffee room.
Rain smiles to the question, and answers, “What are you talking about, aren’t I always cheerful?”
“Not unless something in particular happens,” Leila teases, “So, what happened?”
“Don’t know,” Rain tells her.
“Fine then, don’t tell me, not that I care anyway,” Leila pouts, but then turning more serious. “Rain, so you and Raymond for real?”
Seeing Leila’s rare seriousness, “Honestly, I don’t know. I just know that Raymond really cares for me, and that I really care for him as well.”

“You do know that professing your love for someone is different from being honest with them, right?” Ron asks, sitting in Raymond’s office, and hearing Raymond’s event of the night before.
“Yeah, but you have no clue how hard it is to start,” Raymond explains, sitting at his office desk across from Ron, “Especially when you’re looking at someone who’s that important to you.”
“I don’t,” Ron admits, but continues, “However I do know that if you don’t tell Rain of Lily soon, she might hear it from a third person, and that’s the last thing you want to happen.”
Raymond looks at Ron, “I thought you got Michelle to not tell Rain?”
“I just got her to give you a chance to tell Rain first,” Ron reminds, “not much I can do.”

Startled by the call, Edison quickly turning around sees Michelle standing by her office door. “Oh, hey,” he stutters, putting the photo back in place. “I was just bringing you the file we’re working on,” he explains.
Michelle looking at Edison suspiciously, “Thanks,” she says walking towards her desk and picks up the file.
“Yeah, no problem,” Edison replies, looking in all directions, “I… better get going now,” he bids, heading out the door, “See ya.”
“Yeah, see ya,” Michelle says, watching as Edison left the room, then turning her attention back to the photo and recalling seeing Edison looking at the picture of Rain.
