I thought our fourteenth wedding anniversary would be a night to remember, a chance for James and me to reconnect. We went to the same upscale restaurant where we had celebrated our honeymoon, and for a moment, I let myself believe he had planned something special. When he handed me a gift box, my heart raced — until I opened it and saw yet another set of utensils.
I forced a smile, hiding my disappointment, reminding myself that he was simply practical, not romantic. As James left the table for a moment, I sat there wondering why I still hoped for more after all these years. While he was gone, the waiter returned, placing a salad in front of me — a dish I hadn’t ordered.
Before I could speak, he leaned closer and whispered, “Don’t eat it. There’s a surprise inside, from your husband.” My heart fluttered. Could it be that James had finally broken his pattern of dull, predictable gifts?
