Nathan didn t even glance at the gifts from the others but when it came to the one from Wendy he seemed genuinely interested

Benny casually placed the gift bag on the coffee table and Nathan reached into pullout the contents
Wendy s heart sank as she realized the gift might disappoint Nathan She nervously said Nathan I came in a bit of a rush so I just bought you
She was about to say a wallet but stopped abruptly when Nathan pulled out not a wallet but a letter

She recalled how Benny had handled the bag earlier
Wendy s gaze shot up to meet Benny s and she saw the sly triumphant smile on his face

The room erupted with laughter and chatter

Wendy Nathan cut in with a teasing smile let s have a pretend relationship for now
A pretend relationship with Nathan
Wendy didn t want to giveN a than any false hope She knew it wouldn t be fair to him While Nathan had been pursuing her he had always respected her boundaries and never made her uncomfortable so they had maintained a friendship
Now though the room was full of people all eyes on them
Wendy felt it was too awkward to refuse him in front of everyone especially since Nathan had always treated her kindly Not many people had been so thoughtful toward her and she appreciated that
Wendy sighed and finally agreed Alright
Nathan s face lit up and before she could say another word he pulled her into a hug Wendy thankyou for the gift I love it
