Arwen sat in her office, working. Although she hasn't had a busy, hectic schedule recently, there was still work that she couldn't put to rest.
But even so, amidst it all, she couldn't also stop her thoughts from drifting back to Aiden.
She didn't mean to think much, but for some reason, again and again, his words, his attitude, the way he treats her —everything was making her think about it.

And the wedding gift?
Everything just felt overwhelming. No matter how she tried to understand, the emotions Aiden harbored for her seemed to run deeper than what was visible at the front. Like, he deliberately kept himself restrained.
But why would he do that?
Why would he try to hide away from her? to hide away the reality from her?
