He opened the box and it was a beautiful gold love locket, he opened the letter and it read
"Open it" he opened the locket and there was a picture of him smiling, he continued reading the letter
"Handsome right? Of course you are handsome. Sorry I captured you without you knowing but I couldn't resist, Aidan I hope you smile often because watching you smile gives me hope. You have no idea how important your happiness is to me and one day you'll understand. Your smile represents hope for me and a possibility that it will be alright. I am so glad that I got the opportunity to be close to you, to see this hope. thank you for allowing me near you. Please Aidan never let this smile fade because it will take some light away from my life, I am not saying this to flatter you or to score some points with you, one day you will surely understand what seeing you smile means to me, remember I am always behind you, when things get tough turn around and share it with me and let's find solutions to it together. I am always there for you even if one day you forget me, that you're allowed to but don't let this smile fade from your lips and life. I pray for your happiness always, to see you happy takes a huge burden off my shoulders. Have a blissful birthday my dear "
He smiled and said
"You're my angel sent from above "
Early in the morning he called Lena
"Hey spare me your time for today please" he said and she agreed, he meet her and they went to all the places she wanted to visit with him and he was happy
"Lena I have a wish will you grant me that wish"
"Tell me first "
" no promise me first " he said
"Ok"
"Will you come with me to a place I enjoy going , I will tell you my wish when we get there"
He said and she agreed, he took her to his favorite place where he used to go when he feels lonely and thoughts he doesn't want starts to fill his head
That place is where he finds a distraction, the house was situated in a small town where the people lived the simplest life and were really happy with what they have
When they got there he got out of his car and opened the door for her
"Put on your mask what if they recognize you" she said
" that's why I brought you here, in this place no one knows who I am, no one cares about what I do, in this place I don't have to worry about anything I do and I am not afraid to because there's no media to make news about the little things I do and also I am not judged so far as what I do here doesn't disturb another person's peace or life. After my contract with the agency expires I am thinking of retiring here and soon the world will forget about me. I just hope I will be alive then" He said and indeed he seemed care free, he took her to his house and the people there welcomed him with smiles
