One Year Together

Fae stared at Ren with rounded eyes for a few moments. 

"Why is your expression like that?" asked Ren. "You don't like my present?"

Fae shook her head. "That's not it..."

"So?"

Fae lowered her head. She felt that the wedding anniversary gift she gave Ren was nothing compared to the gift Ren gave her. Now, hers looked so simple and cheap.

"I can only give you gifts of homemade scarves," said Fae quietly. "You gave me a very expensive gift. What if I make you lose money in the business?"

"Why would you make me lose money?" asked Ren, not understanding.

"If I don't manage it well ... the Magnolia Café will be running at a loss, and you will lose money," said Fae innocently.

Ren only smiled at that. "Uhm .. if you're not good at managing it and Magnolia Cafe loses money, then it's not me who will lose money, but you. Isn't that cafe now yours?"

Fae was stunned at Ren's words. "Oh .. you're right."
