Soft charters were going across the long dining table as the entire family dined together. Unlike the normally silent meals they had, Edgar gave everyone permission to break the rule for once.
The ambiance was particularly warm and homely. It was more than Jasmine could ask for. This was without a doubt the best birthday in her entire life. Her twenty-fourth birthday.
Jayden sat beside her soon-to-be wife, refilling her glass and plate from time to time. His gaze, however, never faltered from hers.
He watched her like a man starved of her presence for eternity. The love oozing from his entire being was evident to the people around the table.
Levi watched on with a proud smile on his face. He felt happy for the couple before him. However, he couldn't help but feel lonely too.
Looking around the table, everyone had a partner. Edgar and Bastian, Max and Beau, Emilio and Bella, Travis and Bianca, and finally, a couple of the day, Jasmine and Jayden.
