"These gifts represent the different stages of your life," she explained. "Everyone has a past. I wish I had known you back then, but I want you to understand-while I couldn't be part of your yesterdays, I'll be here for every tomorrow. I did all this because I want to weave more of myself into your story." When Nate remained quiet, uncertainty shadowed her face. She lowered her gaze, a self-conscious smile tugging at her lips. "Do you think I'm too greedy?" Everyone knows reason and logic, but when it comes to matters of the heart, even the most rational people can act irrationally.

And that's exactly what she felt. Like a fool.

But just as regret began to gnaw at her, a shadow enveloped her. Nate reached out to tenderly lift her chin. His eyes held hers, deep, filled with an emotion that words could not fully capture.

Corrine looked up and found herself staring into Nate's intense eyes, as if sunseen force had drawn her in. Nate's gaze seemed filled with quiet warmth, like there were deep, unspoken feelings hidden there, hard to understand.

Seeing the pride in Nate's face, Corrine couldn't help but chuckle. "No, they don't." "Then, hold on toas much as you want. I swear, I'll never grow tired of you." "You're so sure about that?" Corrine raised an eyebrow, surprised.

Nate gave a firm nod. "Go ahead, try me." A playful spark flashed in Corrine's eyes. "Nate, are you trying to trap me?"

"No," Nate replied, his gaze steady O and sincere. Corrine raised an eyebrow, clearly doubtful.

"Alright, enough of that. How about 111 you open your gifts first?”.

"Yes, let's open the gift," Nate said, and then bent down and easily lifted Gorrine into his arms.
