(Author’s POV)The mall buzzed with life, energy spilling from every corner, laughter, chatter, the soft hum of music drifting through the air. Bright lights reflected off polished floors, store windows glittering with displays that pulled people in effortlessly.Aurora was completely immersed in it. Her hand was in Owen’s, but she moved ahead half the time, tugging him from one store to another with excitement that hadn’t dimmed even for a second.“Wait, this one” She said, pulling him toward a shop. Owen followed without resistance, a faint smile resting on his lips as he watched her. Inside, Aurora moved between shelves, her attention shifting quickly but thoughtfully.“This would

(Author’s POV)The morning they were to leave felt different, lighter and filled with a quiet kind of excitement that neither of them tried to hide.Aurora was already ready before Owen, standing near the window of the private terminal lounge, her eyes bright as she looked outside at the sleek jet waiting for them.“We didn’t tell them” She said, turning to Owen with a smile that held mischief and warmth.“You wanted to surprise them” Owen adjusted his watch, his gaze softening the moment it met hers. “And you didn’t refuse” Aurora nodded eagerly. “I never do” He replied simply. She smiled wider at that.

(Aurora’s POV)The next three days slipped back into rhythm as if nothing had ever paused. Life at the Skylar mansion returned to its usual pace, structured, busy, yet warmer than before.Owen and Ryan left early for the office every morning, their schedules packed as always. Asher was mostly out for his film shoots, often returning late at night, carrying that quiet exhaustion but never missing the small moments at home.And then there was Ian.

She placed her bag aside and walked into the living room, her mind still lingering on the field, on Ian’s focused expression, on the way he had played like everything depended on it.She exhaled softly and picked up her phone.

(Author’s POV)Ian marched to his room. The door slammed shut behind him with more force than necessary, the sound echoing through the hallway. He ran a hand through his hair, pacing back and forth like a caged storm.‘His birthday and no one was acting like it mattered. Not Owen. Not Ryan. Not Asher. And worst of all, not even Aurora’. That thought hit differently.He paused mid-step, jaw tightening. This was supposed to be his first birthday with her. Something he had been looking forward to without even realizing how much it meant to him and yet, nothing.As if that wasn’t enough, the nervousness from the selection results was still there, sitting quietly in his chest, making everything heavier. He stopped near his desk, gripping the edge for a
