As they strolled home, Atticus babbling excitedly in his stroller, Adelaide couldn't help but feel a sense of closure. Running into Lucas had been a surprise, but it had also been a reminder of how far she'd come. She had grown, learned, and loved, and she had emerged stronger and wiser.

Mino seemed to sense her introspective mood, and he wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her close. "Hey, you okay?" he asked, his voice low and gentle.

Adelaide nodded, smiling up at him. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking about how far we've come, that's all."

Mino smiled back, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "We've come a long way, baby," he said, his voice filled with affection. "And we've got a whole lot further to go."

As they walked, the sun began to set, casting a warm golden light over the neighborhood. Adelaide felt a sense of peace settle over her, a sense of knowing that she was exactly where she was meant to be.

When they got home, Mino suggested they order dinner in, and Adelaide

    As they settled down for the night, Mino turned to Adelaide and whispered, "You know, I think that fart was a sign of good luck. We're going to have an amazing future together, and that fart was just the beginning!"Adelaide giggled and playfully rolled her eyes. "You're ridiculous, Mino. But I love you anyway."Mino grinned and wrapped his arms around her. "I love you too, Addie. Farts and all."The next morning, Adelaide woke up feeling refreshed and renewed. She looked over at Mino, who was still fast asleep, and smiled. She quietly got out of bed and began making breakfast in the kitchen.As she cooked, she couldn't help but think about the previous night's events. She had never been one to let loose and be silly, but with Mino, she felt like she could be herself.Just then, Mino walked into the kitchen, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Morning, beautiful," he said, yawning.Adelaide smiled and handed him a cup of coffee. "Morning, handsome," she replied.As they sat down to eat,

    As the lights flickered back on, Adelaide's eyes frantically scanned the room for Atticus. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him sitting up in his bed, looking around in confusion.Mino rushed over to the nurse's station, demanding answers. "What just happened?" he asked, his voice firm but controlled.The nurse, looking frazzled, shook her head. "I don't know, sir. It was a hospital-wide power outage. We're trying to figure out what caused it."Adelaide's eyes narrowed. Something didn't feel right. She glanced around the room, noticing that the other patients were all being wheeled out of the room by their families."Mino, I think we should get Atticus out of here," she whispered urgently.Mino nodded, his eyes scanning the room. "I agree. Let's get him discharged and take him home."But as they tried to leave, they were stopped by a hospital administrator. "I'm afraid that's not possible," he said, his voice firm. "The hospital is on lockdown until further notice. We have r

    As the security guards led Dr. Lee away, Adelaide and Mino looked at each other and let out a deep sigh. They burst out laughing, holding their bellies in amusement."Oh my god, that was insane!" Adelaide exclaimed, wiping tears from her eyes.Mino chuckled, shaking his head. "I know, right? I've never seen anything like it."They laughed together for a few moments, enjoying the absurdity of the situation."I mean, who escapes from a mental hospital and starts pretending to be a doctor?" Adelaide asked, giggling.Mino grinned. "And who comes up with jokes like that? 'Take my treatment to a whole new level'?"Adelaide groaned, laughing. "I know, it was awful. But somehow, it was also kind of brilliant."As they laughed together, Adelaide felt a sense of relief wash over her. It was nice to have something to laugh about, especially after the stress and worry of the past few days.But as they calmed down and caught their breath, Adelaide's expression turned serious. "You know, I have to

"I know you're a charming young man, and you've got a lot of girls interested in you. But I want to give you some advice."Atticus looked at him curiously, wondering what his dad was going to say."Don't hurt any girls, okay?" Mino said, his expression serious. "Even if you don't like them, just be kind and respectful. You don't have to lead them on or anything, but just be nice. You never know who might have a crush on you, and you don't want to break anyone's heart."Atticus rolled his eyes good-naturedly.
