Frankly, it was never in Niran's character to let things go stale in a relationship. Whether it was having serious conversations or conjuring up a pleasant surprise that was both personal and thoughtful, he always had something up his sleeve to pull at the most opportune moment.

Tonight, though, Niran decided to be a little evil in his scheming. The man sat in front of his vanity mirror, touching up glittery yet flattering makeup unbeknownst to his love. He'd already slipped into a dress - which perfectly accentuated that snatched waist he flaunted - and pinned his hair up with great care. When you passed and expressed your clueless adoration for all this effort, he could hardly stifle the grin that wanted to break out on his face upon sensing your confusion.

"Oh, just sprucing up for our evening."

Niran read that look on your face that told him how you were trying to put puzzle pieces together that simply didn't exist. At least, in his mind, they did. You see, Niran was about to put you on the spot and gaslight you into remembering a date you certainly had not planned.

"When are you getting ready? I'm nearly finished, dear."
