The restaurant lights were warm and golden, casting a soft glow over the dinner table. The clinking of glasses, the murmur of conversation, and the occasional laughter from Miles and Beck created a cozy atmosphere. But even amid all that warmth, Wynn couldn't shake the growing heaviness in her chest.
Trevor, ever perceptive, noticed the subtle shift in her demeanor. He leaned slightly closer, his voice low and gentle as he asked, "What's wrong?"
Wynn's lips curved into a practiced smile. "Nothing."
He didn't press further. Perhaps he sensed she needed space, or perhaps he simply chose to let the moment pass. Either way, the question hung in the air, unanswered and unresolved. Miles and Beck, completely oblivious to the undercurrent of tension, continued their earlier conversation—something about business deals and old acquaintances that faded into background noise for Wynn.
As the evening wore on, the clock on the wall seemed to mock her with every passing minute. Dishes were cleared, coffee was poured, and still—nothing. No surprise. No grand gesture. No sparkle of an astronomical diamond catching the light.
Wynn's heart sank lower with every tick of the clock, though she clung stubbornly to a sliver of hope. *Maybe he's waiting for everyone to leave,* she told herself. *Maybe the surprise comes after.*
But then Trevor called the waiter over to settle the bill.
Her chest tightened. He was paying. They were leaving. The finality of that simple act crushed the last fragile thread of her hope. And when it became unmistakably clear that there were no other arrangements afterward—no whispered plans, no secret destination, no romantic follow-up—her heart finally shattered into a quiet, invisible silence.
She stood frozen in place, the world around her moving in slow motion.
It was little Jordyn who noticed first. Her tiny brow furrowed as she looked up at Wynn with innocent concern. "Wynnie?"
Before Wynn could respond, Trevor turned around at the sound of his daughter's voice. His eyes found Wynn's face, and she saw it—that flicker of concern, that silent question. Her heart eased just a little, finding comfort in the realization that he still cared, even if he didn't fully understand what was wrong.
Back home, the Lockets and the Shaws had built an elaborate fantasy around tonight. Everyone had simply *assumed* he bought that astronomical diamond to propose. They had painted the picture so vividly in their minds that it felt like an inevitability. But no one had actually heard anything confirming that he would propose tonight.
They had all read too much into it.
And even though he hadn't proposed today like everyone imagined, it didn't mean their relationship had changed. Wynn reminded herself of this as she stood there, trying to steady her breathing.
Trevor asked again, "Are you okay?"
Wynn snapped back to reality. "I'm fine."
Once she thought it through, she felt much better. Though it didn't stop that faint disappointment from lingering in the corners of her heart like a stubborn shadow. Still, she found solace in one truth: he had taken the initiative to ask Celeste for a divorce again. That meant he still cared about her the same way he always had.
They had time. She could wait.
Outside, the evening air was crisp and cool. Jordyn had attended a bunch of classes these past two days and was clearly exhausted, her little eyes drooping with weariness. It was already past eight in the evening, and as soon as they stepped out of the restaurant, she yawned, raising her tiny arms toward her father.
Trevor picked her up immediately, cradling her with practiced ease. "Tired?"
"Mm. Daddy, let's go home and sleep."
"Okay."
Watching the father-daughter interaction, Wynn's gaze dimmed a little. Something warm and bittersweet flickered in her chest. Even if he didn't propose tonight, it was still her birthday. Other than the dinner, she naturally hoped the rest of the evening would be just the two of them.
After all, that was how they used to spend her birthdays.
And Miles and Beck knew this too—that was why they ended dinner early, deliberately giving the couple more time alone.
Maybe he noticed her expression, because Trevor didn't want her to feel disappointed. He turned to her, his voice carrying that familiar tenderness that made her heart flutter. "I'll call you later."
The meaning was clear. He'd take Jordyn home first, then come to find her. Wynn's mood instantly brightened, a genuine smile breaking through the cloud of disappointment. "Okay."
Everyone then went their separate ways.
Wynn had barely gotten into the car when her phone buzzed. It was another message from Linda.
"Wynn, how is it going now?"
Wynn glanced at it and set the phone aside without replying. When Linda first told her about the diamond and the proposal, she had been overwhelmed with excitement and surprise. She'd been anticipating tonight's "surprise" all day—imagining the moment, rehearsing her response, dreaming of the ring sliding onto her finger.
Even though she wasn't in a terrible mood now, if Trevor had really proposed tonight, she'd—well, there was no point dwelling on "ifs" and "what could have been."
If Linda hadn't mentioned it again, it would've been fine. But now that she brought it up, the emotional gap hit her hard. It was like a wound that had just begun to heal, and someone had accidentally peeled off the bandage.
And it wasn't just Linda waiting for an update.
The rest of the Lockets and the Shaws were waiting too—all of them sitting at the edge of their seats, eager for news, for confirmation that love had triumphed tonight.
Seeing that Linda was the one probing for news, they all turned toward her, waiting with bated breath.
When she saw Wynn hadn't replied, she smiled meaningfully. "Wynn hasn't responded... Probably because she's busy—"
The sentence trailed off into implication, and everyone in the room exchanged knowing glances. Because in their minds, "busy" could only mean one thing: Trevor was on his knee, presenting that astronomical diamond, and Wynn was about to say yes.
Oh, the irony of assumptions.
Little did they know, the reality was far more painful—a birthday without a ring, a hope that flickered in the wind, and a woman trying to convince herself that patience would eventually be rewarded.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter is an emotionally charged masterpiece that explores the gap between expectation and reality. Wynn's quiet disappointment feels almost tangible, and the way her hope rises and falls throughout the night creates a gripping tension that kept me completely invested. I especially appreciated Trevor's subtle attentiveness—how he noticed her mood shifts and tried to offer comfort without fully understanding the source of her pain. It's a beautiful, painful portrait of love in transition. The chapter reminds us that assumptions can build beautiful fantasies that crumble at the touch of reality. The writing captures every nuance of feeling, from the warmth of family bonds to the loneliness of unspoken hopes. This chapter earns a deeply felt:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
Based on the cliffhanger, I predict that Trevor will indeed call Wynn later as promised, and the two will finally have some private time together. There's a strong chance he might explain why he hasn't proposed yet—or perhaps he's been waiting for the perfect moment that isn't linked to anyone's expectations. But with Linda and the families growing suspicious and eager for news, the pressure is building. Will Trevor finally confess his plan, or will Wynn's patience be tested even further? One thing is certain: the next chapter promises emotional revelations that could change everything.
