At dawn, they woke immediately to review the plan. But Loren's luck was poor, she found her father at the door. She was extremely nervous. Trying to maintain composure, she forced a smile. Her father stared at her and asked:"
_Why are you awake so early? What are your intentions?"
Sweat dripped down her forehead. Struggling to speak, she managed:"
_Um... you see... Velaxor and I... will get married soon, so... we're... going on a date, uh..."
_"you changed your attitude so quickly... Yesterday you were crying, today you're laughing. I feel suspicious... Anyway, enjoy your romantic date."
Loren barely breathed, shivering at the words "romantic date" .but the lie had worked. When she arrived, They immediately discussed the plan.

Phase one had been completed, and the house purchase and university registration fees would arrive tomorrow. So, the young couple would stay at Mark's cottage at the foot of the mountain. This would make the parents believe Velaxor and Loren had gone to the capital. This would create chaos in both families while the three friends prepared supplies for phase two.
That night was special. Despite everything, the atmosphere wasn't without fun. As for, Mr. Herbert, when his son disappeared, assumed he was with Mark. But when he received a bill in his son's name from the capital the next day, he was shocked. He had never imagined his son could travel to the capital. The same went for Loren's father. Mr. Grilas sent a search team and Velaxor's father contacted the capital police. He knew his son and trusted that he was not foolish enough to travel without a plan...
