"Close your eyes."
He whispered next to her ears and of course, Abby felt another course of butterflies in her stomach because of the unexpected close proxi
"Are you jesting with me? There was nothing in here."Abby said with a pout, but when she turned to look at Eugene's direction again, she saw him holding a bouquet of flowers.
"They were not butterflies, t-h- they were FAIRIE-----"She blurted out but before she could even say the word, Eugene already covered her mouth to stop her from saying it."Don't dare say the F word in front of their face

Meanwhile, Abby no longer paid Eugene any heed and started with her garden work instead, along with her new companions.The dead tree which Abby spent almost the whole morning just to dig out was removed in no time. Even the flower beds were able to get rid of the unwanted weeds in just a span of a few minutes.

"It feels so rewarding now that we are done with the garden."Abby said with a contented sigh, as soon as the earth nymphs left."Look how beautiful this place really was?"
