If Skylar weren't married, Simona would find a way to make the former her sister-in-law.
After work, Skylar and Caleb went to the mall to pick out gifts for Simona. Then, they went to the restaurant.
It was an inexpensive fondue restaurant. Many people were waiting outside.
"Simona has chosen a good restaurant. I heard my friends say that it was newly opened, and the fondue it sells is extremely authentic," Caleb told Skylar after walking in.
Skylar had heard Natalie mention it before. They'd agreed to dine here together next month. Who knew Skylar would eat here first? She took a picture of the restaurant and sent it to Natalie.
Simona had booked a private dining room. When they went in, they saw Aiken. He greeted Skylar politely before engaging in small talk with Caleb.
After everyone said hi to each other, Skylar passed her gift to Simona and said, "Happy birthday."
"Thanks," chirped Simona. She began opening the present.
Caleb handed his present to Simona as well. He echoed, "Happy birthday."
She took it from him and joked, "I don't need to guess. I know what you've given me. I'm more interested in Skylar's gift."
Caleb gave her something similar for every birthday.
It was either a bike or a helmet. If not, he would gift her some decorative items.
Caleb shrugged, brushing off Simona's disdain.
After unwrapping the meticulously wrapped present, Simona revealed a pair of bunny-shaped diamond earrings. Simona's eyes lit up. She enveloped Skylar in a big hug and exclaimed, "Skylar, these bunny earrings are gorgeous. I love them. I want to put them on now!"
"No problem. I'll help you put them on." Skylar took the earrings out and helped Simona wear them.
Although Simona carried herself like an adult, she was merely 19-years-old—just a kid, in other words. She enthusiastically expressed her love for people and things.
