A few days later...
'What should I buy?' Aryan scrolled through product pages with a furrowed brow. 'A shirt? No, his closet's full. A watch? One drawer already overflows with them. A tie? Who gives their partner a tie for their anniversary?'
He sighed and leaned back on the sofa, eyes still glued to the screen. 'This is driving me crazy... Only a week left.'
Just then, Marco's voice rang out from the kitchen. "Breakfast is ready!"
Startled, Aryan quickly shut the laptop tab and sat up straight as Marco walked in, balancing a plate with a flourish. "Presenting… my very first pancake masterpiece," he announced with a grin.
He set the plate in front of Aryan—a perfectly golden pancake with a caramel heart drizzled in the center.
"Try it," Marco urged, eyes twinkling with anticipation.
Aryan took a small bite, chewing thoughtfully before smiling. "Mmm… it's good." He picked up the plate. "Really good."
