My girlfriend's male friend was furious again.
It was our five-year anniversary, and she’d only gottenme* a gift, completely forgetting abouthim*.
Declan was instantly furious, and Seraphina, without a second thought, blocked and deleted me, changing our couple avatar.
My buddy has a huge temper, darling. Once I’ve smoothed things over with him, we can change it back.
I reminded her, "This is the hundredth time."
She chuckled, then leaned in to kiss my lips. "I know. I'll make it quick this time."
That evening, Declan posted an update on his Ins feed:
[Considering someone's performance exemplary, I grant you three days of freedom.]
Seraphina immediately unblocked me.
[Okay, darling, you can change our couple avatar back now.]
But then, a female account withmy* couple avatar added her and sent a question mark:
[What kind of couple avatar needs three people?]

Seraphina stared at the message from the unknown account, then let out a sudden laugh.
"Darling, you're learning to mess with me now."
She shook her phone, then rose to hug me.
"Wifey was wrong, okay? For the past 99 times, you never threw a tantrum. Have you finally learned how to get mad?"
"I'm not throwing a tantrum."
I gently pushed her away. "I’m actually breaking up with you."
"Hahaha!"
Seraphina threw herself back into my arms.
"Okay, darling, wifey knows she messed up. They say there's a limit to how many times you can push someone, and you've put up with me 99 times. So, of course, wifey needs to have some self-awareness.
"I came back this time specifically to win you over."
A gift box appeared before me.
I opened it to find twelve pigeon’s blood rubies, meticulously arranged.
"Around this time last year, you said that if we ever got married, you'd want twelve sunrise rubies to adorn the ceremony hall.
"Darling, twelve gems for twelve months. Do you like my year-long effort?"
Seraphina produced a ring box, revealing a brand-new set of wedding bands inside.
She slipped the men's ring onto my ring finger, then, holding the women's ring, she blushed. "Could you… put this on me?"
Just then, doors in every room suddenly burst open, and our mutual friends pulled party poppers.
"Happy 25th birthday, Julian!"
"Say yes! Say yes!"
The scene caught me completely off guard.
Rubies from Mogok, Myanmar. The last auction price was a hundred million dollars.
I had only mentioned it casually, and she remembered it all this time?
Ribbons scattered in my hair, and Seraphina took my hand.
"Darling, I've waited a long time for this day."
Her FaceTime suddenly rang. She answered, and the smile on her face froze.
