I planned everything carefully \u2014 his favorite dinner, candles, soft music, and even a surprise smartwatch he\u2019d been wanting. I hoped the night would be a quiet, magical escape that showed him how much I love him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we exchanged gifts, he handed me a small envelope, and I expected something romantic. Instead, inside was just a plain pair of socks \u2014 no card, no note, nothing. After all the effort I\u2019d put into the evening, the gift felt careless and my heart sank, though I kept my feelings to myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wanting the night to stay meaningful, I told him I had one more surprise.
