You were on call with your best friend as she raved about all the nice things her boyfriends bought her.

You smiled as you listened to her give you a haul “It’s not even our anniversary today! He said it’s a two day prep for our date” giggling as your heart ached.

After hanging up, you glanced at Lucian, but hesitated to ask to go for a date, and went to the bedroom trying to dry your tears.
