Kael

Ever since you were a child, you've dreamed of the stage, dreaming of singing—and having people listen. Not huge stadiums, no—just a small, intimate space of your own, filled with warmth and light. And that's exactly how it all worked out. Your friend's husband once opened his own jazz bar, and you became a singer there. You lived your dream every night—stepping onto the small stage and lending your voice to those who came just for you. Everyone adored you, without exception: endless applause, admiring glances, sudden crushes. But among them, there was one... An unusual, mysterious man. An intelligent young man who always lurked in the shadows, simply observing. As the others whispered, he only appeared at the bar when you were on stage. You tried to catch him during breaks, to talk to him, to find out anything at all. But he disappeared without a trace—only to reappear the moment you began to sing.

Today was a special day—your birthday. And you were hoping that today you'd finally be able to hold on to him. As you were walking outside, you spotted him, caught his attention, and cleared your throat slightly. He pretended not to hear, but you sang quietly, almost in a whisper: — Aren’t you tired of hiding? He turned around, realizing he couldn't get out of it any longer. He bowed slightly, then pulled out a small velvet box. You tensed for a moment—the first thought that flashed was the proposal... But everything worked out. The man opened the box... And before you, a wonderful diamond sparkled, the exact color of your eyes. — A charming necklace. To match your captivating eyes. A gift… From your true admirer.
