Tina felt a tingling sensation rise from her toes, spreading through her entire body. Her face flushed slightly as her gaze landed on a strawberry cake to her left and a jewelry box to her right. "Uncle, open it and feed me," Tina said with a playful smile, casually resting one leg over Jared's. She looked completely at ease.

Jared's slender fingers reached for the strawberry cake. He untied the ribbon on the packaging with elegance, carefully cut a piece, and brought it to Tina's lips.

The sweetness of the strawberry filled Tina's mouth, but her heart felt even sweeter. She loved Jared's attentiveness, but even more, she adored the affection she saw in his eyes. Thinking this, she hooked her arms around his neck and kissed his eyes softly.

Jared's breath caught. His hands tightened around her waist, pulling her closer.

The car was filled with an atmosphere of intimacy. Tina nestled into Jared's arms, continuing to enjoy the strawberry cake. "So, what was the surprise you mentioned earlier?"

Jared's gaze was tender as he reached for the jewelry box and opened it. Inside was a bracelet adorned with pale blue gemstones that shimmered in the light. "I know you don't need things like this," he said, "but I've noticed that couples often exchange gifts like these. I designed and made this myself. Give me your hand."

Tina obediently extended her hand. Her wrist was delicate and fair, almost translucent in its fragility.

Jared silently congratulated himself for measuring her wrist while she was asleep. Otherwise, the bracelet would have been too large.

Lowering his head, he carefully fastened the bracelet around her wrist. Tina's fingertips brushed against the cool metal, the sensation pleasing. The bracelet's design featured a pair of wings as its centerpiece, surrounded by tiny blue diamonds, with a heart-shaped blue gem nestled between the wings.

It suited Tina perfectly. She turned and straddled his lap, cupping his chin with both hands before planting a sweet kiss on his lips. "I love this bracelet!"
