Chapter 13 I chased after Snowball , running toward the light . When I got closer , I realized it was a giant hot air balloon , surrounded by a circle of fairy lights around the basket . Theodore was holding Snowball , slowly approaching me through the glow , looking like an angel . He took my hand and led me into the hot air balloon . With a snap of his fingers , we began ascend , drifting over the vast ocean , gazing down at the coastal town lit up against the night . Turning to look at Theodore , I found him already watching me who knows for how long . His eyes held no trace of the scenery , as if I were the only thing in them . We just looked at each other , neither of us saying a word . Then , suddenly , fireworks burst in the sky not far away , blooming like vibrant flowers against the night . The colorful display blended with the starlit sky , painting the most beautiful picture imaginable . As the fireworks sparkled above us , I heard Theodore say , Rosalie , I like you . Will you be with me ? Seeing his serious yet slightly cautious expression , I smiled , wrapped my arms around his neck , and kissed him . A happiness Id never felt before filled every corner of my heart . So , this was what it felt like to be secretly loved by someone , On the third day after we made our relationship official , Theodore and I returned to New Orleans to celebrate my mothers birthday .
