“Maybe I’m just old-fashioned, read too many fairytales. It’s no wonder I’ve had no luck.” as complained as I look at my friend as he laughs.

As his laughs dies down, he looks at me endearingly.
“Lynn, your standards really are high.”
His gaze softens as he looks at me again

“Um anyways, Lynn, I’ve been meaning to tell you something.”
I look at him curiously.
“Lynn, I just want to say that I really find yo-” 

At that moment the fire alarm went off. As he looks around in confusion and distress, then looks at me with a serious expression on his face.
“I’ll tell you later, just get out of here. I still need to find my family.”
Then, I saw him run off the other direction.
This would be the last time I would ever see him…
