Edwin kicked the door open-or at least, that’s what I thought he did, but my eyes were covered by his tie-with his boot, sending it crashing against the wall so hard I thought it might break something.

I gasped, clutching my mate tightly. “Edwin, what are you-”

Before I could finish, I felt myself being lowered to the ground, Edwin’s hands steady on my waist to keep me balanced. Then, with a gentle tug, he pulled his silk tie away from my eyes.

I blinked, adjusting to the light, and frowned when I saw the second ‘surprise’ that Edwin had been talking about all day.

“A… cereal box?” I asked, picking up the box of Frosted Flakes, which was adorned with a big red bow, and turning to him. “I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love cereal as much as anyone. But…”

My mate smirked and placed his hands on his hips. “Why don’t you try opening the box first, smarta***

With a quirked eyebrow, I flipped the lid of the box open and overturned it onto the coffee table. A moment later, several slips of paper fell out. Ten, to be exact.

I picked one up and nearly dropped it again.

Hidden inside the cereal box, the sly bastard, were ten first class tickets to Italy.

“Edwin,” I breathed, staring down at the scraps of paper in disbelief. “What… how…?”

He came up behind me, wrapping his warm arms around my waist and resting his chin on my shoulder. “They’re not scheduled until next year,” he explained. “I bought them in advance. But I wanted to do something special.”

I picked up another ticket, confused. “Ten tickets?” I asked softly, glancing up at him over my shoulder.

“Two for us, of course,” Edwin explained. “And four for your friends. Then one each for Claudia, Peter, Charles, and Eliza. I’ve booked a villa for everyone for an entire month next summer.”
