Juan and Kyle could not help but marvel at the latest iPad and Lego.

“This is just so cool!” the boys exclaimed.

A fond smile broke out on Nicole’s face as she gazed at the four kids getting so excited about their new toys.

Beside her, Evan looked at her from the corner of his eyes as he held out a box, waving it in front of her.

Nicole’s eyes glimmered in curiosity as her eyes tailed the exquisite box. She flashed him a coy smile and asked eagerly, “Is this for me? What’s this?”

“Take a guess,” Evan replied playfully.

“Hmm, jewelry?” Nicole asked.

“Nope,” Evan said, shaking his head.

“It must be a watch then,” Nicole guessed confidently.

But still, Evan shook his head.

She scrutinized the box carefully, trying to come up with a good guess. It must be something small enough to fit in this box. Aha! I think I got it! ”It’s an accessory!” Nicole clicked her fingers and gave a smart guess.

But she still got it wrong.

Nicole’s brows furrowed seeing Evan’s reaction. She really could not think of anything else no matter how hard she tried and she gave up in the end.

“Come on, just tell me what’s inside! I’m tired of guessing,” she cried out.

Evan caved and handed her the box. “Open it then,” he said.

Nicole took the box from him and opened it with a suppressed smile on her face. When she finally got to what was inside, she was astonished.

She cocked her head and looked at Evan in surprise.

Why is he giving me this?

Has he found out about it?

“I’ve waited for years to give it to you,” Evan said.

Nicole never expected him to find out that she was the little girl he met when they were kids.

When did he find out about it?

Nicole’s mind raced rapidly trying to figure out how did Evan find out it was her. She was completely dumbfounded.

Evan returned her questioning gaze with a warm smile but did not say a word either. Instead, he turned and asked the kids to get ready for their mealtime.

Nicole looked at the red paper ring, and memories came flooding back.
