She herself knew...how much despair filled her chest the moment she saw the slip of paper and thought that Nellie and Nigel had been kidnapped.
They had no idea. They thought this was good for her, a welcome surprise. The worry, panic, despair that she felt on the journey here should not exist, she should be happy.
"Luna." Joshua pushed down the pain radiating from his belly, and strode toward her like a healthy man, holding the present he prepared for her in his hands. He looked at her, his eyes warm and gentle. "After so many years, this is the first time I'm celebrating your birthday with you." He handed the gift to her. "I hope you like it."
The moment the words left his mouth, the crowd started to shout in excitement.
"Luna, come on, take it, President Lynch put in a lot of effort into choosing your present!”
"Exactly! He booked the entire beach and hotel, he's so romantic!"
"I can't believe this is their first time Luna's birthday, n o wonder he worked so hard for this..."
The roar of the crowd rang in her ears in an endless
loop. But she could not hear them at all.
She lifted her eyes and stared fixedly at Joshua. "You prepared all of this?”
He nodded. "Yes."
