Lydia povI was halfway through an email when my phone rang. Not just any email either. One of those emails I enjoyed writing because it gave me an excuse to throw a complicated mess at my team and watch them figure out how badly they could panic before remembering they were professionals. The subject line currently read: URGENT: STREAMER MONEY-LAUNDERING CASE — INTERNAL RESPONSE DRILL The case itself had been trending since that morning. Kairo Vee, one of the biggest gaming and lifestyle streamers in the country, had found himself at the center of a financial investigation after the Financial Crimes Unit reportedly froze several accounts linked to a digital marketing company he owned. According to reports, the company had been receiving unusually large transfers from a network of offshore betting platforms and cryptocurrency wallets. The problem was that Kairo had spent the last three years building himself as the harmless internet millionaire. He streamed video games. He revi

Lydia POV “Yes.” “Okay.” “Don’t be late.” “You’re the one who invited me.” “And I’m telling you not to be late.” I laughed. “Okay, bye.” “Bye, babes!” The call ended. I stared at my phone. I should have known something was off. But honestly, at that point, I was too relieved to have an excuse to get out of the house. I hadn’t really dressed up in a while. Not properly. Most of my days recently had been some combination of comfortable clothes, hospital visits, recovery, conversations with Dave, conversations about Dave, conversations involving the children, and generally trying to figure out what my life was supposed to look like now that my memories were back. So, for once, I decided to play dress-up. Just a little. I opened my wardrobe and stood there for several minutes. I didn’t want to wear anything too serious. It was just a walk. A stroll. A casual little outing with Anna. Nothing that required an actual outfit. Eventually, I pulle

Dinner

“Anna!”My voice bounced through the garden.I stopped right in the middle of the pathway, staring at the ridiculous amount of effort that had clearly gone into whatever was happening ahead of me.“What is this?”I looked around again.“Hold up.”I narrowed my eyes.“I hope I’m not walking into somebody else’s surprise or party.”Because this was not a stroll.This was not women in their thirties walking around talking about life while taking cute pictures.This was an entire production.There were warm lights strung between the trees, candles flickering along the edges of the pathway, flowers arranged in places that looked almost too intentional, and a beautifully set table sitting beneath the glow of the evening sky.I slowly shook my head.“This Anna babe…”I muttered under my breath.“This looks really fancy.”I looked behind me.Nothing.Ahead of me, the pathway continued.To my left, there was a hedge.To my right, more flowers and trees.There wasn’t an obvious detour.So, with

Lydia POV“No.”“Good.”He laughed.“I got a chef from your favorite restaurant.”My eyebrows lifted.“You did?”“Yes.”He placed the first plate between us.“The appetizers are a combination of things I know you like. Nothing too heavy because I don’t want you complaining that you’re full before the main course.”I looked at the plate.There were delicate little bites arranged neatly across it, each one looking almost too pretty to touch.“This is…”I paused.“Very fancy.”“I know.”“You did all this?”“I arranged it.”“Which means you called people.”“Technicalities.”I smiled.He explained each dish, telling me what the chef had used, how one component had been prepared, and why he’d specifically requested it.I picked up the first bite.The moment it touched my tongue, I paused.My eyes widened.“Oh.”Dave smiled.“Good?”I nodded slowly.“Oh, wow.”The flavor unfolded gradually—savory first, then a subtle sweetness, followed by something citrusy that cut through the richness perf

Would you marry me?!

Lydia POVDave was still kneeling beside me, his attention focused on my feet as his hands worked gently over the aching muscles. I leaned back in the chair and let my eyes wander upward, allowing myself to take in the sky above us. It had changed completely since we arrived. A few hours ago, everything had been bright and golden, but now the last traces of daylight were fading into soft shades of blue and lavender. Clouds stretched lazily across the sky, their edges catching the remaining light from the setting sun. I watched them for a while, enjoying the strange peace that came with doing absolutely nothing. No phone calls. No emails. No children asking me for something. No crisis to solve. Just the sound of the evening around me and Dave’s hands occasionally moving over my feet.Then I realized his hands had stopped.I frowned and looked down, expecting to find him distracted by something, but Dave wasn’t looking at my feet anymore. He was looking at me. I raised an eyebrow, waiti
