When I saw the date on the calendar, panic overtook me. I ran to the store to buy something—anything—but I had no idea how I was going to explain forgetting. When I got home, I saw him calm, as if nothing was wrong. When I told him I had forgotten, his face changed for a moment, but then he smiled and said, “I have a surprise for you.”
At first, I thought he would forgive me somehow, but what he did completely left me speechless. He took me to the kitchen, where a mini forest was set up on a table: a small pot with plants, hanging lights, and a table full of unusual objects, like a mini water fountain, old books, and a letter that read, “Each of these things is a reminder of the moments we’ve shared, the ones I’ll never forget.”
He explained that he had done all of this because he thought a simple gift wouldn’t reflect everything he wanted to say, so he created a kind of “city of memories.” It wasn’t what I expected, but it was so unique and personal that it left me utterly speechless.
I felt so embarrassed, but at the same time, grateful to have someone so incredible, who cared enough to do something so unusual, yet so perfect for us.
