/A month and a half later/

  -I can finally give her the gift. I'm a little nervous...

  -You talked to her everyday since you started talking to her. You almost beat up a kid for her family, you brought her to the cinema, under my suggestion, of course, and you're telling me you're stressed about giving a gift ? Bruh...

  -If you put it in that angle...

  -So, what do you want to offer her ?

  -It a secret for now, preserved inside this wrapped box.

  -Yeah, it really looks like you made it...

  -Pff. Okay, I need to find her. Did you see her?

  -She's near the person who gives drinks. Go for it, soldier.

  -Okay, general!

  *Walks to the stand*

  Hey Caryn!

  -Quentinn! You came!

  -Yeahhh! I couldn't miss your birthday.

  -That's so nice!

  -Ahaha... Huh, Caryn ?

  -Yesss ?

  -I have a gift for you.

  -Really ?? That's so sweet! But wait, have fun for now, and give it to me after we cut the cake. I'll be opening all the gifts at the same time.

  -Oh, okay okay, I'll wait then.

  -Cool! I have to talk to my aunt, I have to leave you by yourself, all alone, don't get kidnapped, okay ?

  -We're in an event hall but okay...

  -Pfff ahaha, I'm just joking, don't be so serious! See ya!
