EPILOGUE
Whispers of Forever: A Valentine's Day to Remember

Eliza and Arthur had spent weeks planning their very first Valentine's Day together. Both of them had been eagerly anticipating the day, wanting it to be special, memorable, and filled with a romance neither of them had ever experienced before. Little did Eliza know, Arthur had been quietly working behind the scenes to turn the evening into something far beyond what she could have ever imagined.

As the sun began to set on Valentine's Day, a soft pink glow lingered in the sky, casting a dreamy light across the streets. Eliza had been in and out of the kitchen all morning, putting together a thoughtful gesture of her own. She had decided to get something special for Arthur's daughter, Sienna, in the spirit of love and family. Eliza had a soft spot for the young girl, who had quickly become an important part of her life since she and Arthur had grown close. The heart-shaped cookie she had baked for Sienna was big enough to share, wrapped in a pretty red ribbon. It was a simple yet heartwarming gift, a gesture that would surely make the little girl's Valentine's Day special.

Meanwhile, Arthur was quietly sneaking around their house, setting the stage for the night to come. He had worked meticulously, making sure every detail was perfect. The house, which usually felt like a comfortable home, had been transformed into a fantasy. The scent of roses filled the air as soft candlelight flickered against every surface. Rose petals, red and delicate, were strewn across the floors in a delicate dance that led to the heart of the living room. He had arranged the candles in a way that added an ethereal warmth to the entire room, casting a golden glow against the walls.

Arthur had thought of everything. The moment Eliza would walk through the door, she would be swept away by the romance of it all. He knew that this night would be unforgettable for them both, the beginning of a new chapter, one filled with love and possibilities. Arthur had spent hours getting the house ready, eager to give Eliza the kind of romantic evening she deserved. For him, it wasn't just about flowers and candles, it was about showing her how much he cherished her, how deeply he loved her, and how eager he was to build a future together.

Eliza arrived home that evening, not knowing the surprises awaiting her. As soon as she stepped inside, the quiet allure of the atmosphere filled her senses. The soft glow of candlelight danced across the walls, and she was immediately greeted by the delicate scent of fresh roses. Her breath caught in her chest as she noticed the rose petals scattered along the floor, guiding her down the hallway toward the living room. The romantic setup overwhelmed her, and she couldn't help but smile at the sheer thoughtfulness of it all.

Arthur stood by the door, his eyes filled with warmth and affection as she entered. He was wearing a simple yet sharp suit, his smile never wavering as he took in her reaction. Eliza's heart swelled with emotion; she hadn't expected anything like this. She stepped closer to Arthur, the softness of the petals beneath her feet making her feel like she was walking in a dream. She reached out, cupping his face in her hands, and kissed him softly on the lips, grateful for everything he had done to make the evening so perfect.

"I can't believe you did all this," she whispered, her voice trembling with happiness.

Arthur simply smiled, his fingers lightly brushing against the back of her hand. "You deserve it," he said. "Tonight is about celebrating us—our love and everything we've been through together."

Eliza leaned in for another kiss, her heart feeling full, as though every part of her had finally come to life in this moment. She had never been someone who believed in fairy tales or grand gestures. She had lived too many years on her own, learning how to be strong and independent. Yet here she was, standing in the middle of a dream she never thought could come true. With Arthur, she had found something deeper than anything she'd ever imagined.

They spent the evening together in their newly transformed home, enjoying a delicious meal prepared by a private chef who had come in to add an extra touch of luxury to their evening. Arthur toasted to their love, to the bond they had built together, and to the future they would continue to create. There was a sense of ease between them, the kind of peace that comes from being completely comfortable and in sync with someone else.

But the surprises weren't over yet. After dinner, they left for their hotel room, where the romance continued. Eliza had arranged a special night away, a gift for both of them. They arrived at the hotel to find another beautiful surprise waiting for them. More flowers—this time, tulips and lilies in varying shades of pink and white—decorated the room. Soft light from candles flickered, casting a serene glow over the space. The bed was draped in red rose petals, and a bubble bath awaited them, the scent of lavender and vanilla filling the air. The room felt like something from a fantasy, like a haven of pure love and serenity.

"Wow," Arthur murmured, gazing at the scene with awe. "This is... this is amazing."

Eliza simply smiled, feeling a warmth settle in her chest. This was everything she had ever wanted—love, tenderness, and the kind of care that made her feel cherished and important. Arthur had thought of every little detail, just as she had for him, and in that moment, she realized how deeply they had both invested in making each other happy. It wasn't just about the gifts or the fancy gestures, it was about the connection they shared, the trust and love they had built.

As they settled into the room, the bubble bath became an opportunity for them to relax and unwind together, their conversation flowing easily between soft laughter and moments of quiet reflection. Eliza had saved one final surprise for Arthur, something that took their connection to another level. She handed him a small envelope, sealed with a ribbon. When Arthur opened it, he found a certificate inside that read: "This certifies that Nike stock has been purchased in your name."

Arthur's eyes widened with surprise. He had always talked about investing in stocks but had never really taken the step to do so. Eliza knew how much he loved the brand and how it represented his passion for life and business. It was her way of showing him that she truly understood him and supported his ambitions.

"This is incredible," Arthur said, his voice filled with emotion. "You really didn't have to..."

"I wanted to," Eliza replied, her smile soft and sincere. "This is just one more way for me to show you how much I believe in you, in us."

After that, the night was filled with laughter, quiet moments of tenderness, and the quiet certainty that they were exactly where they were meant to be. Eliza's heart felt light, her fears about love and the future melting away as she realized how fortunate she was to have found someone like Arthur.

The next day, they spent time with Sienna, the young girl who had become such an important part of Eliza's life. Arthur had surprised her with a giant teddy bear, and Sienna had clung to it happily, a big smile on her face. Eliza's heart swelled with love for the little girl, who was growing up to be kind and caring just like her father. As they spent the day together, Eliza couldn't help but imagine what the future would hold for them, for their growing family.

She had never dreamed she would get a happy ending. She had spent so many years thinking that love was something that only existed in fairy tales. But here she was, in love with a man who not only cherished her but also had a beautiful daughter who she could see herself caring for and nurturing in the years to come. Eliza even envisioned a time when she and Arthur would have their own children, siblings for Sienna, growing up in a house filled with laughter, love, and joy.

As the day came to a close, Eliza reflected on how much her life had changed. In Arthur, she had found more than just a partner; she had found a family. A sense of belonging she had never known.

And as they stood together, watching Sienna play with her new teddy bear, Eliza realized that this was just the beginning of their story filled with love, hope, and the kind of happiness that lasts a lifetime.

The End.
