Cayden looked dead serious as he pulled out his phone to check the time. “It’s not even eleven. I’m wide awake.”

“Dad, you’re tired.” Iris sighed softly.

It took Cayden a second to catch on. He stood up in a fluster. “Oh right, I’m beat. I’m heading to my room. Brandon, you go rest too.”

Brandon glanced at his sharp–witted sister, then at his clueless father. He couldn’t help but smile and nodded. “Alright. Good night, everyone.”

Yvette finished her shower and dried her hair.

She stood in front of the bathroom mirror, brushed her teeth, and slathered lotion on her skin.

She picked up her perfume, hesitated for a second, then quickly set it back down.

Her cheeks flushed bright red.

There was no way she was spraying perfume this late at night. That would be way too obvious.

She took a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom.

She heard movement coming from the dressing room.

Yvette walked over slowly and leaned against the doorway. She peeked inside and saw Brandon taking his clothes out of his suitcase and hanging them neatly in the closet.

Brandon sensed her presence from the corner of his eye. He paused and turned to look at her.

Yvette grew nervous under his gaze and blurted out an explanation. “I… I came to see if you needed any help.”

“I’m fine.”

“Oh.” Yvette turned to leave.

“Yvette.” Brandon called out to her before she could walk away.

She spun back around. “Hmm?”

“I have something for you. Come here.”

“Okay.” Yvette stepped up to him.

Brandon pulled a small exotic cloth pouch out of his suitcase and handed it to her. “Do you like it?”

“Is this a gift for me?” Yvette’s heart fluttered with excitement. She stared up at him with her big, clear eyes.

“I saw this at an exhibition. It made me think of you.” Brandon held his gaze on her face, carefully reading her expression. “I wasn’t sure if you’d like it.”

“I love it.” Yvette quickly took the pouch from him.

She felt something hard inside the soft bag.

Curious, she placed the pouch on the vanity table and emptied it out. Several small boxes tumbled out. “What are all these?”

“They’re all for you.” Brandon stepped closer to her. He leaned down to watch her unwrap the gifts.

Yvette opened the first delicate box.

Inside sat a huge, vivid red gemstone.

Yvette knew a lot about gemstones. Her eyes widened instantly. She covered her mouth in shock, switching her gaze between the priceless ruby and Brandon.

“It’s a rough stone.” She breathed out in disbelief.

Brandon felt satisfied seeing her thrilled reaction. “Yeah, it’s unpolished. You can design your own jewelry with it however you want.”

Yvette gasped quietly. Even growing up in a wealthy family, she was stunned by how expensive the raw gem was.

She set the ruby aside and opened the remaining boxes.

The other gifts carried strong Midian characteristics. They weren’t overly pricey, but every piece was beautiful, delicate, and one–of–a–kind.

“Thank you. I love all of them.” Yvette’s eyes turned glossy with emotion.

Brandon had gotten her five separate souvenirs during his two–month business trip.

It was clear that anytime he saw something pretty abroad, he’d buy it just for her.

Brandon inched closer. His chest lightly pressed against her back. He reached past her and picked up a silk scarf.

“This is a traditional Midian scarf. The fabric’s incredibly soft…

Yvette’s heart raced wildly. Her body tensed up, her back going stiff, and she lost control of her breathing.

She could feel his warm breath brushing against her cheek, sending a strange, hot tingling sensation through her body.

“Thank you, Brandon.” Yvette hastily gathered the gifts back into their boxes, clearly flustered.

Brandon placed his hand gently over hers.

Yvette froze on the spot. Her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her throat. The warmth of his palm seeped into her skin, spreading a fuzzy, tingly sensation all through her body.

She could barely breathe from nervousness.
