[Alright.]
Aurora sighed in relief. "Vicky, we've been out for quite a while. Shall we head back?"
Vicky glanced at Aurora. "Can we finally go back now?"
"Yes, we can go back... Huh?" Aurora sensed something was amiss. "Vicky, do you...know something?"
Vicky smiled. "Every time I go out with friends, Tyler always bombards me with questions about when I'll be back and insists on picking me up. Strangely, he didn't ask me anything today. Also... I remember that it's my birthday today."
Aurora was left speechless as she realized Vicky saw right through her act.
...
By the time they got home, it was starting to get dark outside. Inside the mansion, it was quiet and pitch-black. Suddenly, a warm, yellow candlelight gradually illuminated the darkness, revealing a handsome face.
"Happy birthday, Vicky," Tyler said.
Vicky gazed at the flickering candles, feeling a bit dazed.
It was then she remembered that during the early days of their relationship, he had prepared a birthday surprise like this for her as well.
Time seemed to have passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, 10 years had gone by.
"Make a wish," said Tyler, holding her hand as they walked over to the dining table filled with delicious dishes.
Looking at the spread, a hint of amusement danced in Vicky's eyes. "You still remember, huh?"
On her birthday 10 years ago, Tyler himself cooked a candlelit dinner for her.
Vicky had long left behind her girlish tendencies, but at this moment, she felt as if she had returned to the excitement and joy of that day.
