The next day morning,
Aiden was sitting and waiting for Arwen to join him for breakfast when he saw her emerging from the closet with a velvet box in her hand.
"What's that?" he asked.

Aiden did reply immediately; his eyes were fixed on the velvet box in her hand which Arwen soon noticed.

"Did you like that ring?"
