The Plan

"Yes please make sure that everything goes according to plan and smoothly tomorrow night. Don't forget to keep me updated on everything. Okay bye." Bryce disconnected the call as soon as he came out of Hera's ward. He had accompanied her and Mariam to the hospital for her checkup and while they were at it, he had excused himself to take a call in regards to Hera's birthday surprise. So far, he was utterly and totally stressed but it was worth it.

With a smile on his face, he dipped his hands into his pockets to reveal the small box. For some reason, he has been carrying it everywhere not wanting to put it down even for a second. He opened the box and stared at the beautiful engagement ring resting there. He carressed the ring with his finger as he imagined how beautiful it would look on Hera's hands before putting it back into his pocket.

He was trying his very possible best to have everything under control before tomorrow evening so that he would be fully prepared to celebrate Hera's birthday. She's in for a ton of surprise and she doesn't even know it yet.

"Someone looks happy." Mariam teased Bryce and he turned around to see her standing next to him. It felt like she was reading his mind and could always tell what he was thinking. She's like a second skin but one company that he always enjoys. These weeks, aside from him, she had been in charge of Hera and was always there at her beck and call. She was like the mother he never had.

Her presence was one that he couldn't do without. She always makes him imagine what it would feel like to have a mother. Right from day one, she had always been there. Mariam was one of the few people on earth that he could trust and she has proven that to him already.

"I'm always happy Mariam." He answered happily.

"Not as much as you've been these past few weeks. You look and feel like a new man. It's surreal seeing you like this."

He was excited and could barely contain his excitement. He felt like he would burst with happiness any minute. "Who wouldn't love it. You put in a lot of efforts and knowing Hera, she'll be extremely happy that you went all out to do this for her. She's always appreciative of your efforts, whether small or big." "Thank you Mariam.
