“I’m here, where are you going?”
Brayan’s voice was deep, but his tone was gentle.
Jennifer felt like the skin on the palm of her hand touching Brayan’s was “burning up.”
“I… need to go see grandpa…”
“There was no one else here, just the two of us.”
“Huh?”
Jennifer was surprised.
Brayan’s smile curled up slightly, seeing through Jennifer’s thoughts.
“Grandpa wanted to celebrate your birthday, but I told him to leave it to me, so… these are all my arrangements.”
Jennifer opened her mouth.
She wanted to ask Brayan “why?”
Why did you do all this for her?
He didn’t love her.
Would Brayan really do something that doesn’t benefit him?
“Peter told me you have pollen allergies, so I didn’t use any flowers för

decoration, only balloons.”
Brayan took the bewildered Jennifer up in a hot air balloon.
The hot air balloon slowly rose into the sky, like a ark welcoming happiness.
Jennifer and Brayan were sitting inside, and Brayan took the initiative to cut a piece of cake for her.
At that moment, Jennifer was the happiest woman in the world.
If it weren’t for the spreadsheet in Brayan’s computer, if it weren’t for Catalina.
However…
No “if“.
The trees and houses around were getting smaller, and the colors changed from sky blue to orange.
The sun was setting, the sky was filled with red clouds, illuminating Brayan’s handsome half face.
Jennifer never talked to Brayan first.
Brayan didn’t say anything to her either.
The two of them were silent, only the cake in the plate was finished.
It got dark.
The stars became more and more numerous, and they also became brighter and brighter,
Jennifer wanted to tell Brayan, “Put me down!”

Today’s birthday was romantic, but it didn’t cloud her mind.
She still remembers today is the last day Camryn Mining reserved the rough stone for her.
She decided to buy that rough diamond.
So she had to leave.
Bang!
There was a loud bang in my cars.
Jennifer opened her eyes wide, with all sorts of colors in them.
One after another, colorful fireworks surrounded their hot air balloon.
In the sound of fireworks popping, Brayan’s magnetic voice was so unique.
“Don’t go back tonight.”
The night was quiet.
There were only stars in the night sky, no fireworks.
Outside the LeBlanc’s manor, a hot air balloon landed on the ground.
The old house was lit up.
Brayan just took a shower and walked out in a bathrobe.
On the highway to Eclesh, a white BMW 3 Series was speeding, leaving streetlights and trees behind.
Jennifer was driving
Time was running out.

She called the people at Camryn Mining with her Bluetooth earphones.
“I took that rough stone, I’m on my way, almost there.”
“Sorry, Ms. Grillin, we already sold that raw gemstone.”
“What?!”
Jennifer almost slammed on the brakes.
“Weren’t you supposed to keep it for me until today?”
“It was bought by your husband, he said it’s a gift for you.”
Jennifer’s mind flashed with the unusual Brayan tonight.
She didn’t know if Brayan suddenly had a change of heart from taking the wrong medicine, or if he was just pressured by his grandfather.
Anyway, tonight Brayan was really nice to her.
Gentleman, thoughtful, romantic.
When Brayan asked her to stay overnight at the old house, she thought “everything Brayan did today was for this.”
Brayan did have a period of time when he didn’t touch her.
Brayan had no shortage of outlets for venting, especially since he was living with Catalina.
Jennifer wasn’t sure if Brayan really wanted to sleep with her, so she spent a lot of time thinking about it.
She didn’t agree to Brayan’s request in the end.
With Brayan’s temper and methods, she thought he would force her, she was on guard until the hot air balloon landed.

However, Brayan didn’t.
Brayan just told her to drive carefully, pay attention to safety, and didn’t say anything extra.
Jennifer got off the highway and parked her car on the side of the road.
Her heart was a mess, a real mess.
She didn’t understand what Brayan wanted to do.
Did Brayan remember her?
Thinking about her time at the Juvenile Detention Center….
Jennifer took out the gift box Brayan gave her and carefully opened it.
Although Brayan’s performance didn’t seem to match up with what she remembered, according to Camryn Mining, the birthday gift Brayan gave her should be the ruby with a heart–shaped crack that she had her
eye on.
Jennifer felt her breath start to tremble.
If… Brayan really remembered her, remembered the promise back
then…
The packaging was opened, and inside was indeed à jewelry box, palm–sized, just enough to hold a raw gemstone.
Jennifer was over the moon.
She opened the jewelry box.
