Nobody could have expected that something as simple as a homemade necklace could hold such an incredible secret. Something that would change the life of the person wearing it forever.
When Terry crafted the necklace and gave it to his girlfriend Anna, he knew exactly what the consequences would be if she were to find out what was inside. So he had to keep it a secret for as long as possible.
When Anna finally found out what was hidden in the necklace she had been wearing for so long, the relationship between the pair would never be the same again...
For a second, Anna was stumped. Why did Terry want the necklace back? By now she had been wearing it for about a year and got really attached to it. But Terry told her that she had to trust him and with a little hesitation she handed it over...
Anna thought that Terry maybe wanted to clean it or make sure she didn't lose it on the rest of their trip. But then he put both his hands on the pendant and broke it open! Anna let out a scream in disbelieve and was about to get very angry. "How could he do that...?!"
But before Anna could fully react to what just happened, she saw what had been hidden inside the ring and suddenly her anger faded away and tears started to well up in her eyes...
But what was in the necklace? And why did it mean so much to Anna? To understand this, a bit of backstory is required...
Anna and Terry are a lovely couple who live in Australia and have been dating for one year now. They started dating after being friends for almost 4 years, but their romantic connection didn't seem destined from the start. Not at all actually...
Anna and Terry met when they were still fairly young. They had met in a club on a night out. Anna didn’t think much of Terry at first, while he was already fairly interested in her. Anna had more eyes for one of Terry’s friends, who had joined them one night.
In the time that Anna was hitting it off with Terry's friends, She and Terry also started hanging out quite a bit as a result. They saw each other often and really started building up a click. But, this click was not romantic whatsoever yet. And there was a good reason for this…
Even though she and Terry hung out often, she didn’t know much about him. He was always very mysterious and kept his cards close to his chest. Anna would often ask him questions about his past, only to be met with very vague answers which didn’t reveal much...
While the relationship between Anna and Terry’s friend didn’t last, the friendship between her and Terry did. And over a long period of time, the friendship seemed to develop into a relationship. Much to the displeasure of Anna’s parents and friends…
They didn’t trust Terry. He always had something about him that made them think he was hiding something. And while these suspicions were always in the back of Anna’s mind, she couldn’t help but get more and more romantic feelings for her mysterious friend…
After 4 years of friendship, Anna and Terry officially started dating. While Anna’s friends and family were very skeptical at first, they couldn’t help but admit that the relationship quickly seemed to blossom into something beautiful. But the doubt about Terry never completely faded...
Terry also felt the eyes of the doubters on him at all times during his relationship with Anna. He knew that in order to get what he wanted from Anna, he would have to work in complete secrecy. But luckily, he already had a plan figured out...
After a lot of deliberation, he knew what the perfect time would be to undertake action. His and Anna’s one-year anniversary was coming up and this was going to be the moment Terry would make his move. Now he just had some preparation to do.
Terry was going to give his girlfriend Anna, a very special gift for their first year anniversary. He was going to make something himself. Even though he wasn't particularly handy, he still wanted to give it a shot, because he knew that what he wanted to give her could not be bought in a store...
