Enola Holmes' POV :

9:30 pm.

Lighting the candle as soon before I go to bed. I wanted the room to smell like Tewksbury, it's weird, I know. Using it isn't bad, this cashmere vanilla smells nice to me. Oh! I almost forgot! It's Tewksbury's birthday tomorrow! Okay, I should've thought of that a while ago! I went up and decided to get some papers, wrappers
and a gift..... I really can't think of any but, I hope he'll like this.

I decided to give him a little ring, it is not an ordinary ring. My mother used to tell me that give special things to a special person but make sure to never regret it. Even if that person returns it to you, someday. The ring consists some expensive thing in it and a minimalist diamond circle. I believe that this might not mean something to him but he'll remember me.

I wrapped the ring in a small beige box, having it with a letter inside. I won't tell you what it is, it's a surprise!

I also added some papers to make it look cool, in my perspective. I don't know about art or some crafting skills. I can't even do embroidery— I was born to fight and do the opposite normal woman do in this generation.

While writing the letter, I try to recall every little details I remember about us. It's very cheesy and I hate it, honesty... But, it's his special day! I don't want to ruin it..

"Hm, does this look nice? Or strangely nice?" I whispered and bit my lip as I decorated the box. Again, I'm not creative. Whatever this will turn out... it's still a masterpiece because I did it. *internally flipped my hair in sassy mode*

I'm getting really sleepy and good thing, I remembered his birthday and did something.

The next day, I packed my small bag, wear the best clothes I had and gave my hair a blast. Bought the gift with me and of course, I'm wearing his necklace— the one he gave me.

"To the House of Lords, please!"

The ambiance of the view looks stunning and I can tell, everyone's preparing for their lord's birthday. Martina has a special gift, I know that for sure. My mood was kind of ruined a bit by thinking about that. I wonder if Eleanor and Nora was here? I'm not even sure if we are friends! I have no friends, except William.

Speaking of William, he might be here. Surely a lot will visit the house, there is no doubt about that.

I went inside and make an appearance, looking at every sides, there are many classy people. I'm really nervous and happy while walking. At the same time, I feel like someone who has a high position— it's maybe the way I dress.

"Hey Enola!" A voice called from behind.

"Oh, hi Nora!" I greeted as I turned around. Nora was wearing a black dress and her hair in curled.

"You look stunning!" I added and chuckled as she poses like she was a model.

"Psh! That's all you!"

We both made our way into Tewksbury's direction, greeting him a happy birthday. He looks great today, there's nothing new about that. And his hair, he had it short now.

"Happy birthday, Lord Tewksbury!" Nora greeted before me and handed the gift.

Tewksbury smiled and accepted it, "Thanks Nora! You can eat whatever you want at the right side, eat all you can please."

I followed Nora and said, "Happy 19th birthday Tewky!"

Tewksbury's reaction changed and it became happy and timid.

"Thank you, Enola."

I almost forgot about my gift! I removed it from my left hand and handed it to him with kindness, I even bowed. This is the first time and I hate this, I don't even know why I did that!
