What Next?

Alex stood in the same spot, taking no further steps, and closely watched Sabastain move.

Presenting a bouquet of roses was the unexpected that struck Alex's heart. Even though it was Estefania's birthday, Alex never considered bringing a gift.

If the rejected admirer could think of getting a gift then it’s a slap on his face not to have thought of one.

Feeling ashamed and embarrassed, Alex retrieved his movement toward Estefania.

“Receiving a gift from Sabastian on my very occasion was never something that crossed my mind. How weird?” Estefania thought.

Estefania extended her hand in a warm gesture, gazing at the bouquet of roses stretched out in front of her, and smiled as she accepted the gift. "Thank you," she said sincerely, and she pulled away from Sabastian's gaze.

Estefania felt that her first gift that night should have come from someone she cared about, rather than a stalker like Sabastian. Who would have thought of that?
