295 Her Birthday Present

Emily stared wide-eyed at the couple rings sitting inside the box that Kaiden was holding out to her.

"Kaiden..." She wasn't sure what to say or how to respond. Her hurt was thumping loudly, ready to burst out of her chest at any moment.

A part of her was filled with excitement, overjoyed by the scene in front of her. The happiness also came from her soul which was elated for its other half.

However, there was also a part of her that was filled with worry and anxiety. She felt like she was not prepared even though she couldn't think of a single reason to say no.

The conflicting thoughts in her brain started getting heavier with each passing second. Thankfully, Kaiden decided to help her out of the dilemma that was attacking her brain and heart.

"Are you that horrified by the thought of me proposing to you?" Kaiden's voice sounded more playful and teasing instead of disappointed or angry.
