Emma had always loved it, but he knew she wouldn’t accept it directly. By sending it anonymously, he hoped she would eventually receive it through me.

Jason then revealed what I hadn’t expected—he had been in love with Emma for years, long before she married Mark’s brother, Brian. He didn’t want to disrupt her marriage; he simply wanted to make her happy, even if she never knew it was from him.The next day, I gave the bracelet to Emma, telling her it suited her better.

She was overjoyed, never suspecting Jason’s role in the gift.At family gatherings, I sometimes catch Jason quietly watching Emma as she talks, the bracelet sparkling on her wrist. His love remains unspoken, but in that silence, there’s a quiet, selfless beauty—proof that sometimes the greatest love is simply wanting someone else’s happiness, even without recognition.
