He chuckled. “You're right. She told me, and then we planned this together.” | smiled, touched by their

thoughtfulness. “You don’t celebrate your birthday?” he asked, his brow furrowed in concern.

| shook my head. “Not really,” | said, taking a sip of the wine. “It was the day | lost my parents, so it's never been

a day of celebration for me,” | said, my voice quiet and somber.

He pressed my hands together, his gaze full of compassion. “I'm sorry,” he said, his voice gentle.

“I don’t want to ruin the mood,” | said, trying to smile.

“It’s okay to talk about it,” he said, squeezing my hands. “You can tellanything.” | felt a rush of gratitude,

“Thanks. “So,” | said, giving him a teasing look, “what made you decide to be so romantic?”

He grinned, meeting my gaze. “I was taking your advice, you know.”

| laughed. “To show your mate romance, not me!”

He winked. “Let’s just say | was practicing your advice on you.”

| shook my head, amused and impressed by his cleverness. “Well, | must say, you're quite the romantic!” | said,

compose myself.

“I-I don’t know if anyone's ever said that,” | stammered, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“Well, they should have,” he said, reaching out to gently take my hand. “You're absolutely stunning.”

“Do | look more stunning than your mate?” | asked, a hint of jealousy in my voice.

He gently took the fork from my hand, his touch sending a shiver down my spine.

“You know | can’t answer that,” he said, his voice soft and sincere. “It would be unfair to compare you two. You're

both beautiful in your ways.”

| tried to swallow the lump in my throat, not sure if | was comforted or still jealous. | wanted to be the only one in

“Why would you want to see her?” he asked, his tone curious. | looked down at my plate, not wanting to meet his

gaze.

“I don’t know,” | said, shrugging. “I just feel like | want to see her in person.”

“Hmm,” he hummed in response as he nodded, understanding.

thinking about this mysterious woman that Kex had a connection to. Who was she, and why couldn't he reject

her, even though she had a boyfriend?

As | sat there, | couldn't help but admire Kex as he ate his meal. His hair was tousled from the breeze blowing

through the open window, and he casually reached up to push it out of his eyes. | watched his every move,

my mind was blank.

“I... I...” | stammered, searching for the right words. “I'm just a bit cold, is all,” | said, trying to sound nonchalant.

Without a word, he removed his suit and wrapped it around my shoulders.

“Thank you,” | mumbled as we finished our meal.
