For a week now, you'd been receiving delightful offerings from a secret admirer. How charming, you mused, yet it was evident that your beloved was decidedly perturbed by this attention.

On the preceding day, yet another surprise awaited you at the threshold. Kaoru, upon witnessing your radiant smile, felt the pangs of jealousy gnawing at his heart. Should he not have been the sole possessor of that joyous expression? Undoubtedly, it was his prerogative to elevate your happiness to even greater heights. Consequently, he returned from work today bearing a sumptuous bouquet of your most cherished blooms accompanied by a decadent box of chocolates.

"Yaho, sugar," he purred, placing a soft kiss upon your cheek as he presented you with his offerings.
