Brock was thoughtful; in fact, he had not stopped thinking about the same thing the last few days. He had heard that Sinthea complained that he was not affectionate or romantic enough with her.

However, he had already tried several "common" things like giving her jewelry, flowers, chocolates, and stuffed animals, among other things, and nothing seemed to please her.

He had to think of something. A romantic dinner?

"A romantic dinner," Brock said aloud, not realizing he was not alone.

"I'm not interested," Steve replied, raising an eyebrow.

"No, you idiot, I'm not inviting you; it's for Sin," Brock explained, crossing his arms.

"She probably won't like it."

"I have an idea; of course, she's going to love it." Brock signaled for Steve not to continue; he felt his brain was working too fast. He needed to start working on the surprise right then and there, and maybe it would be ready by the end of the week.

"Maybe a necklace; he really likes her," Steve commented, not that he really wanted to help him, but he needed to talk to him, and probably then Brock could finish his rant and pay attention to him.

"Yeah, also, but my idea is fantastic," Brock said.

"Hey... " Steve was supposed to say something to him, but Brock ignored him and walked out of the office. He took off.

Brock headed to his car. He was to go visit the place first, then make some calls, and then take care of getting the gift personally.

Jack's expression changed when he started to listen to what Brock was saying; it sounded too strange and different, and although it wasn't the first time he said something like that, it was always uncomfortable when Brock asked him for help when it was about love.

"Are you sure he's going to like it?" Jack asked skeptically, arching his eyebrows.

"Sure, you must admit that for the first time, I've come up with something that will be successful." Brock's voice sounded animated.

"But it's all too red."

"It has touches of black, just the way she likes it, so take care of the decorations; I have to go get the main gift. I trust you. " Brock hurried to his car.

It had taken him a lot of work to get that gift, and as soon as he arrived at the meeting point, he began to move his foot with desperation, although when he saw his watch, he stopped. He had arrived a few minutes earlier.

"She's going to love it," Brock commented when he saw it, and then put it away again.

Now the hard part would be to convince Sin to go to the place where everything was ready. So he basically had to cover her eyes and tie her to the seat so he could take her.

"Brock, just tell me where we're going." Sin demanded, grumpily.

Just a few more minutes, and we'll arrive," Brock said, trying to contain his excitement.

Sinthea grimaced; she didn't look happy, so Brock felt he should hurry before it turned into a fight.

After he walked her around a bit, he was pleased with her reaction to seeing the place.

After chatting and eating a bit, Brock offered her the box with the gift.

"Really, Brock? It's the best token of affection you've been able to give me in all this time." Sin began to weigh the weapon in her hands. "It's beautiful; it seemed like a dream come true. I already want it to be the next mission."

"Did you really give her a gun?" Bucky asked incredulously.

"Sinthea has never been like the rest of the girls," Steve pointed out.

"All I care about is that she's happy now and I've had a good week," Brock commented.
