I Came Home to a Romantic Dinner, But It Was Not Meant for Me

When Serena’s best friend’s birthday plans are canceled due to a cold, she assumes she’ll spend the evening with her husband. But when she gets home, she finds a fancy dinner planned and her husband preoccupied.

When I married Ethan, we were young and hopeful. My mother loved him, but my father needed convincing.

“You’re too young, Serena,” he said. “Why get tied down so quickly?”

Eventually, he gave his blessing.

Ethan was a supportive husband, always ensuring our home ran smoothly. When Maria’s birthday rolled around, Ethan encouraged me to celebrate with her.

But Maria called to cancel due to illness. Disappointed, I returned home, expecting a quiet night with Ethan. Instead, I found our living room transformed: candlelight, gourmet smells, and a romantic table for two.

Ethan, in an apron, was surprised to see me. “Serena, you’re home early!” he exclaimed.

Ethan explained he had planned a special anniversary dinner for my parents. My heart swelled with gratitude. Ethan and I ended up going on our own date, cherishing the unexpected evening together.
