2015

Alex prepared Brooklyn a romantic dinner at her apartment. She knew how exhausted the singer was due to her work and preparation for her upcoming tour, so she wanted to surprise her and give her a moment of calm and love.

However, things didn't go exactly as Alex had planned. Brooklyn arrived home a little early, threatening to ruin the surprise. But Alex quickly improvised and managed to keep her plan a secret.

Dinner was wonderful. Alex had prepared all of Brooklyn's favorite dishes and decorated the apartment with candles and rose petals. After enjoying the delicious food, Alex handed Brooklyn a small package wrapped with a red bow.

Opening it, Brooklyn discovered a beautiful necklace with a heart-shaped pendant. Alex's initial was engraved on the pendant.

"It's lovely." Brooklyn said, her eyes shining with excitement.

"It's not for you to think that you belong to me." Alex explained softly, while she tenderly placed the necklace on Brooklyn. "It's a reminder that I know you, that I know who you really are, beyond what others say. And besides, if you're ever away or I'm away, I want you to have something to remind you that I'll always be there for you."

Alex's words resonated in Brooklyn's heart, filling her with warmth and love. In that moment, she knew that she had found someone truly special, someone who understood her and supported her in a way she had never experienced before. And with the necklace around her neck, Brooklyn felt like she was carrying a little piece of Alex's heart with her wherever she went, a connection that nothing and no one could break.

Brooklyn absentmindedly brushed her teeth, mentally going over the day's itinerary that Alex had prepared for her while Blue, Alex's faithful four-legged companion, played at her feet. It was then that she, looking in the mirror, realized that something was missing.

The necklace.

Brooklyn's heart raced as she frantically searched around the sink, but the necklace was nowhere to be found. Panic and anguish took hold as she mentally reviewed her morning's activities, trying to remember where she had left off.

Desperate, she checked the bedroom, the living room and even the kitchen, but she found no trace of the necklace anywhere. Finally, with a heavy heart, she knelt next to Blue, looking to her faithful companion for comfort.

"I've lost it, Blue." she murmured, fighting back tears. "I've lost the necklace."

Blue looked at her with his loyal eyes, as if she understood the anguish of her owner. With a sigh, Brooklyn stood up and decided to retrace her steps, checking every corner of her apartment in search of the precious necklace.

As the hours passed and the search proved fruitless, Brooklyn began to lose hope. The necklace meant so much to her, not only as a gift of love from Alex, but as a symbol of their connection and commitment to each other.
