A thousands of excuses.

      Roses started to bloom, grasses started to grew, the new spring breeze was felt from the 23rd floor of Royal Blossom apartment. It's the 3rd May. Tomorrow is a child's birthday. Rosie Williams woke up early in the morning and had a cup of coffee with some toast. After showering, she wore a blue blouse matched with a long emerald green skirt. She finished her coffee and toast and went out to the streets. Shopping mall is the place she is aiming to go for now. She went to the toys section and wander around searching for a perfect toy for her niece. While searching, Rosie saw a girl with pigtails, who is wearing a bright red dress and pink shoes. The cute little girl, sat in a corner, crying. She was crying, crying and crying.

      Overwhelmed with the girl's tears, Rosie ran to the girl and persuaded her. She told Rosie she lost her father just now while she was searching for a toy. Her name is Katie Greasely and her father's name is Henry Greasely. She also told Rosie her father's contact number. Rosie took her to pick a toy so Rosie can buy it for her, before calling her father. So Katie picked a toy, and they go to the operating counter nearby. While waiting in line, suddenly, a 40 year old man was standing right in front of them, with his angry face, staring at Rosie.

      "Daddy! Daddy!" cried Katie. Of course that was her dad Henry Greasely who is assuming his child was kidnapped by a 38 year old Rosie Williams. Henry grabbed Katie's arm and shouted at Rosie "Don't you dare touch my little princess!" Katie almost cried, not knowing how to explain it to her fierce father. So they walk away. Since everyone in the line, or maybe in the whole mall saw Rosie, she bowed with shame. After buying her niece a toy, she ran to her apartment with tears running all over her cheeks. It was a very sad, embarrassing, and also an unforgettable moment.

      3 days have passed, 72 hours have flew away, but Rosie was still thinking of explaining it to Henry Greasely. Rosie is scared if Henry just can't accept the fact that she didn't kidnapped Katie. Rosie is scared if Henry just doesn't want to accept her apology. Rosie emboldened herself to explain about the incident 3 days ago. She called Henry and luckily Henry agreed to meet her up in a cafe. Thank god.

    Nervous is obviously the right word to describe Rosie's feeling now. She waited in a cafe, wearing her pink coat and her black ankle boots. Finally, a guy she's been waiting for shows up, with a sulky face. Rosie tell him what really happened and they discussed. But it's really hard to make Henry believe it until it makes him call Katie at home and ask if it's true. Luckily, Katie answered it right. Rosie is probably the happiest woman in the cafe. So they started knowing each other and and talked for hours in the cafe. Then something unexpected happened. They're madly in love.

    "You may kiss your bride." Okay, obviously that sentence was pronounced about 2 years ago. They're married, but they aren't really living a happy life. That is because, Henry Greasely is a soldier which makes him as a 'weekend husband' because he have to stay in the military camp. He have to make a thousands of excuse to make it out of the camp for a day just so that he can meet his true love and his little princess. Rosie advised him to quit the army so that they can see each other everyday. Why? "It's a boy!" Yes. That's why. They were gifted a baby boy. A prince.
