As the opening of the music studio approached, Rena found herself surrounded by numerous gifts.
Boxes of various shapes and sizes cluttered her desk, awaiting her attention.
Rena diligently opened each one and made a note of their contents,
knowing she would have to reciprocate the generosity in the future.
Among the gifts, her eyes caught sight of a golden box adorned with familiar handwriting.
It was from Waylen.
Rena was surprised that he had sent the gift to the music studio, but the gesture was still a delightful surprise that any woman would appreciate.
She gently untied the ribbon and opened the box with anticipation.
Expecting precious jewelry, her surprise grew when she discovered a pair of butterfly specimens inside.
The butterflies were noticeably distinct in size.
Upon closer inspection, the pair represented a male and a female.
Their colors were vibrant, their preservation exquisite.
Waylen had included a card with a single sentence inscribed upon it:
It read, âFor my morning dew.
â
Youthful and cautious, Rena couldnât help but feel a mixture of wariness and delight upon receiving such a gift and seeing those sweet words.
She gently caressed the delicate butterflies, savoring the moment.
Just then, her ringing phone interrupted the tranquility.
It was Waylen calling.
:
She hesitated momentarily before answering the call.
Waylenâs gentle voice greeted her.
âHave you received the gift? Do you like it?â
âYes,â Rena replied, her curiosity piqued.

âThese butterflies are from the ice age in South Africa.
Thereâs only one pair left in the world now.
Waylen, how did you know that I had an affinity for them back in high school?â
He smiled knowingly from his office chair.
He didnât provide a direct answer to her question but instead said softly,
âWhy donât you come back to our apartment for dinner tonight? The cook from my familyâs mansion has prepared a special meal.
Letâs enjoy a glass of red wine together, shall we?â
Rena was no naive girl.
