“What gift?"

“The preserved Ecuadorian roses bunny. He had it customized two months ago. To make sure nothing went wrong, he asked me to supervise it.

Haven't you received it yet?"

Blair opened and closed her mouth. She could not find the words. But her heart was filled with such joy. It was him. It was really Wesley.

She grinned from ear to ear

Since when had that man been so romantic?

“I thought it wasn't from him. I was considering rejecting it," she said honestly.

“It's from him. Sign for it. Then I have done my job," Niles said.

Blair signed. The courier left.

She decided to move the box into the lounge so that it wouldn't distract anybody. She used one hand at first, but it was quite heavy and didn't budge at all. She had to use both hands to get it to move.

“What got into your brother? Why did he send me this? I once couldn't even get him to buy me a bouquet of roses."

“Who knows?" Niles said.

“He has been acting weird. He wouldn't Lend me money or buy me things, but he got you an apartment, buys you clothes and other things, and he even bought you such a fancy gift. Ugh, I envy you so much. By the way, I don't think this is his type of thing either. I doubted it, but he did call me and asked me to supervise this matter."

“Okay. Do you know where he is?" Blair asked, her tone sad.

“No way!" Niles exclaimed.

"I would have expected you would know where he is. Although I didn't know either until I heard my grandpa say that he went to Dreles. He has been transferred."

“Transferred to Dreles?" Blair frowned.

“Yes," Niles said. ‘This is huge, ' Blair thought. ‘Why didn't he tell me?' She swallowed her sorrow and asked, “How long will he be there? When is he coming back?"

“Beats me. Why don't you call Grandpa and ask him about it? But the mission is highly confidential. Grandpa probably doesn't know much about it. Prepare for the worst," Niles told Blair. Wesley could be assigned to a mission and no one would know when he'd be back. It was an occupational hazard. Niles got used to it. Maybe Blair needed to be, too.

“Okay," Blair said.

"Blair, you're so Lucky to have someone like my brother. I'd marry rich, too, if I were a chick."

“It's not too late. You still have time," Blair joked.

“I've got a star to pursue in this life. I got you a birthday present too. I sent it off a few days ago. You're welcome. I'm your brother-in-law, after all. Remember that, next time my brother decides to beat me up. Bye."

“Um, bye."

Sitting in the lounge, staring at the bunny, Blair didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
