Suddenly, a few waiters approached Sienna and Theo, carrying a large cake and decorative candles. The soft yellow glow lit up the table as they set it down.

Sienna blinked in surprise.

The cake was huge, layered with white chocolate and twinkling lights. She turned to Theo, confused. “Did you get this for me? When did you even have time to plan this?”

Theo looked just as surprised, shaking his head. "I didn’t do it. I don’t know."

One of the waiters smiled. “Happy New Year, Miss Donovan. This is a special gift from our hotel. Since you’re one of our regular guests, we prepared this for you.”

Sienna smiled, her brows knitting slightly. She wasn’t exactly a regular here. She’d only been a few times.

Still, she nodded politely. “Thank you. It’s Mrs. Montgomery now.”

The waiters simply nodded and walked away, leaving them with the cake.

Theo picked up the knife and handed it to her. She cut the cake while he sang "Happy New Year" softly beside her.

As she sliced into the thick layer of cream, something shiny peeked through—hidden behind the cake, wrapped in a white, glossy package.

She picked up the small parcel and carefully opened it. Inside was a little velvet box. As she flipped it open, a soft blue light glowed from within, illuminating a ring nestled inside.

Her lips parted slightly in awe.

It was an emerald ring, deep green and brilliant, set in a delicate mix of silver and gold, with an elegant design that stole her breath.

Her gaze drifted to Adrian without meaning to, just as a memory flashed through her mind.

Four years ago, back when they were still together, she’d seen this exact ring in a magazine. The moment she spotted it, she had lit up like a child.

“Adrian, look at this ring!” she had said, beaming. “I love emeralds. I love this ring. It’s the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen.”

She had eagerly moved closer to show it to him, eyes gleaming with excitement.

But he was buried in work, eyes on his laptop, barely acknowledging her. Without even glancing up, he pulled out his black card and tossed it to her.

“Here. Get whatever you want,” he mumbled, already getting up to leave.

Flustered, she had rushed after him, saying, “But Adrian, it doesn’t have to bethisring—or any jewelry at all. Really! I just want something from you.That’s all that matters…”

But he didn’t stop.

He walked out of the room without once looking back, her voice trailing off behind him like an echo, unheard.

“…you don’t even have the patience to listen to me,” she whispered then, watching his back disappear.

Now, years later, here it was—thatring.

“Wow, that’s your New Year’s gift?” Theo said, startled as he eyed the ring. “I might have to start coming here more often. What kind of restaurant gives out gifts likethis? Did you even eat enough to match this price tag?”

Sienna gave a distracted little laugh. “I don’t know... but I really love this ring. It’s beautiful.”

A passing waiter approached, and Theo flagged him down.

“Tell whoever arranged this for Sienna, the cake and the ring, that we loved it. Thank you.”

The waiter smiled. “Of course, sir,” and walked away.

Theo gently took the box from her hands, pulling the ring out and sliding it onto her finger.
