Stephanie/ Smileyy's P.O.V

I slowly opened my eyes, the warm sunlight streaming through the window greeted mhi. I stretched my arms and yawned, feeling the softness of the bed beneath mhi. Suddenly, I noticed a delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen. I sat up, curious, and that's when I saw him - my boyfriend, standing in the doorway with a tray of breakfast goodies and a bright smile on his face.


"Good morning, beautiful!" he said, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "I wanted to surprise you with your favorite breakfast - pancakes, fresh fruit, and a cappuccino. And today, it's all about you. Whatever you want to do, we'll do it."

I was taken aback by the gesture, feeling somewhat suspicious but nevertheless grateful and loved. "That sounds amazing!" I exclaimed, my eyes widening with excitement.

We enjoyed breakfast together, he asked mhi what I wanted to do first. She thought for a moment before suggesting a visit to the spa, followed by a shopping spree and then a walk in the nearby park. He eagerly agreed, and we spent the morning getting massaged and feeling relaxed and strolling hand-in-hand through the mall, soaking up the sunshine in the park.

After a lovely lunch at his favorite café, he surprised mhi with tickets to a concert that evening. My favorite artist was performing, and I had mentioned wanting to see them live. The evening was magical, with great music and quality time together.

As the day drew to a close, he asked mhi what I wanted to do for dinner. I opted for a cozy night in, and he happily obliged, cooking mh favorite meal and setting up a romantic dinner for two at home.

As we sat down to eat, I turned to him and said, "This has been the perfect day. Thank you for making it so special." He smiled, his eyes shining with love, and replied, "Anything for you princess. You deserve it all."

And so, the day came to a close, filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments. I knew I was lucky to have a partner who made mhi feel so seen and loved.

**NEXT DAY**

I woke up to an empty bed, reaching over to feel the cold pillow where my boyfriend's head should have been. I sat up with a start, wondering where he could be. No note, no text, just gone. A shiver ran down my spine as I threw off the covers and got out of bed.

After getting dressed, I tried calling him, but it went straight to voicemail. I left a message, trying to keep my tone light, but my mind was racing. Where could he be?

Deciding not to dwell on it, I thought about what I could do with my day instead. That's when I remembered my sister had been wanting me to visit her for a while now. Why not? I thought, and quickly got ready.

As I arrived at my sister's place, she greeted me with a big hug. "What brings you here today?" she asked, eyeing me curiously.

"Just thought I'd visit and spend some time with uh.. It been a while"

I looked at her and realized she doesn't look like her usual happy self. I wanted to ask whats wrong but I didn't. When the time is right she will eventually come to mhi.

We spent the day lounging in her backyard, sipping lemonade, and catching up on each other's lives. It was just what I needed – a distraction from the uncertainty with my boyfriend.

As the day drew to a close, my sister asked if I wanted to stay for dinner. I agreed, and we ordered takeout, laughing and chatting like old times.

As I drove home later that evening, I realized I hadn't thought about my boyfriend's absence all day. Maybe this was a sign that I needed some space too.

When I got home, he still wasn't there, but this time, I didn't feel anxious. I went to bed, feeling grateful for my sister's company and the reminder that I'm strong enough to handle whatever comes my way.
