"Surprise?" questioned Darren in shock.
Xiu held his hand and tiptoed to lean close to his ear as she said, "Happy Birthday, Mr. Salvay!"
"You remembered?"
"I'm dense but not to that point," said Xiu. "Besides, it's my fiance's birthday, how can I not remember it? Just because you didn't talk about it last night, do you think I forgot as well? Not at all!" She hugged him tightly as she went on, "I was very confused about what gift to give you. But last night when you proposed, everything cleared up in my mind."
She pulled away slightly to look at his disbelieving expressions as she added, "So, my gift to Mr. Salvay is Mrs. Salvay. How's that?" She wiggled her brows at him. "My Mr. Salvay lacks nothing except for his Mrs. Salvay. But fear not! Here I am!"
"You're gifting yourself to me?" Darren's voice was soft but one could clearly see his excitement in his eyes that never left her face.
