He had always admired the pen that his father had gifted him when He graduated from university. But over the years, the ink had faded and since it was a limited edition pen it was hard to refill. He had always wanted to get it fixed as it was very dear to him. She had been wondering for a while what would be a perfect birthday present to give him. Finally, one day while She was visiting his office, the idea struck her. She had secretly taken the pen out and after three months of searching found a special ink dealer on the outskirts of town to get it refilled and polished. The ink dealer returned with the pen, it was like magic. The pen was better than it was before and it the ink dealer also gave her a few extra refills. She thanked him and headed to his family home for the surprise party. He was completely surprised by the lavish party and She nudged him to meet outside at the balcony. Once outside, She placed the box into his and kissed him on his cheek and said, “I made one of your dearest wishes come true; I hope you like it my love,”…. ________________________________________________ She had loved pens growing up. Even as a grown up whenever She visited a stationary shop, her excitement knew no boundaries. She was passing through her neighbourhood and saw that a new tiny bookshop/stationary store had opened up. She decided to check it out. She walked in with a chime, began exploring the shop. As She was looking around , She bumped into a box of colourful pens. She fell right into his arms, and their eyes met. He had never seen such beautiful black eyes in his life, She looked so simple, yet her eyes spoke volumes. As He helped her up, He asked if She was okay and if She was looking for something specific. She replied that now that She came to think of it, there was this brand of pens She had loved when She was in high school. He was surprised, He told her to wait, and He returned shortly with the pen She had been talking about. He smiled as He gave it to her and said, “For that pen I will take nothing less than your company for a cup of coffee”… ________________________________________________ He was having a great start to the day. He got word early morning that He had signed a big client for the firm. He stopped on his way to grab a bite to eat at the local diner. He was lucky enough to get his favourite pancakes with caramel syrup. As He was paying for his breakfast, He overheard a lady in the booth behind him sounding quite happy. He could not help himself, He decided to go see who it was. He saw her chatting away on the phone filliping her hair, it was then He heard her asking aloud if anyone had a pen. He offered her his, She smiled and took down a number. He sat down as She ended her call and returned his pen. She looked so cheerful; He could not help but ask why. She told him that She had finally got her dream job. She just needed to call the secretary to confirm the details. He knew that He just had to get her phone number. So, He asked, “I know this is quite sudden but I was wondering if you would like to celebrate your big news over dinner tonight? ”… _________________________________________________________________
