for two in the back by the window. A waitress hands us our menus and gushes over Aiden. I roll my eyes because he doesn’t even notice. She blushes and then quickly scurries away.
    I giggle and Aiden looks at me with his head tilted, eyebrows creased.
    “Never mind.”
    He takes my hand on the table.
    “So…” I say then bite my lip as I feel a little nervous. He gazes at me lovingly with a gorgeous smile.
    “I’d really love for you to move back in with me. I miss waking up to your beautiful face every morning,” he says. His knee is agitating up and down and he rubs the back of his neck.
    “I’d love to live with you again, but I don’t know if I can handle it at the apartment. There are a lot of very bad memories there for me, Aiden. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of good ones, too, but I’m sure you know what I mean.”
    His eyes light up with that sparkle that I haven’t seen for a long time. He grins widely and exhales, seeming to be relieved.
    “I was hoping you’d say that.”
    My heart races and my chest goes tight. “What? Why?” I ask, wondering why he would be happy about me not wanting to move back in to the apartment.
    He starts to talk really fast, like he’s nervous or excited, maybe both. “Before we… um… took some time apart, I’d made plans to build us a house on the land at the scope. When you left, I didn’t want to be at the apartment anymore either, so I continued with the development of the house. I have plans if you’d like to see them?” he says, grinning from ear to ear, watching my every move.
    My heart flutters and a sudden wave of excitement floods my veins. “You were building us a house?”
    “Yes, it was going to be your wedding gift,” he says, looking up at me through his lashes, almost like he is worried about how I will react.
    I bite my bottom lip as the overwhelming feeling of love and adoration I feel for him right now ignites a fire in my soul. He strokes my hand with his thumb.
    “I can’t believe you were doing that for me.”
    He’s looking very pleased with himself. His knee stops agitating, and he looks at me and exhales. “You deserve a nice house with a yard. I want to give you something that you’ll think of as ours not mine. We can get a dog and maybe raise a family? What do you think?”
    I’m beyond elated; I can’t believe he was planning all this for me. And to think I nearly gave this up makes me tingle with a cold sweat. I love him so much right now that I want to jump over the table and into his lap, but I stay in my seat. I don’t want to overwhelm him, we’ve only just started talking. “Aiden I don’t know what to say.”
    He grins widely and pulls some papers from the inside of his jacket pocket and lays them on the table. He pulls them out so quickly I hardly had time to focus on what they are. “Don’t say anything. Take a look at the plans and tell me what you think.”
    I look at him and bite my bottom lip, suppressing my urge to smile. The current of excitement flowing through me in this moment is electrifying. I giggle as I open the plans of the two story luxurious open plan living home. It has six bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study, two living rooms, a game room, a theater room, and a giant kitchen/dining/living area opening out on to a deck with a water feature. The deck leads out to a giant pool and spa. The main bedrooms have en-suites and walk in closets and there’s a centerpiece staircase in the main entrance. Our bedroom has a balcony which will overlook the city.
    I study the plans in awe. “Aiden, this is huge.”
    “I know, only the best for my baby.” He pulls out another plan and lays it on top of our house plan.
    I tilt my head and look at him with my brows furrowed. “What’s this?”
    He looks so excited; his eyes are bright and his smile isn’t fading. “It’s a smaller house I want to build on another part of our property that we can use as a guesthouse.”
    I look at the plan in front
