''I have a plan, Rose.''
''Well that's never a good sign.''
''Funny. My machine is ready.''
Demitra's face and tone fell serious, ''I thought you said..''
''I didn't have it then but I've found a power source that will suffice.''
''Dare I ask what.''
''Not what.. who.'' Isaac said, ''Gomez.''
''Isaac..''
''I know what you're going to say but I won't harm him.. too badly.''
''Promise?''
''..I..promise. I need this to be good. For you. ..And Francoise of course.''
''Isaac, I've been thinking - I don't know if I want to get rid of my ability after all.''
''But.. it hurts you.''
''I know, but would it be so bad. If I kept them, I mean.''
''..I mean.. if that is what you want.''
A beat of silence persisted before Demitra jumped up excitedly, ''don't think I haven't forgotten what day it is.''
''Rose, I told you to forget about it.''
''You can't ignore a birthday, and you really expected me not top remember?''
''You can remember just not get anything for me.''
''Well..about that-''
Demitra rushed over to her secret hiding spot in the hallway of the laboratory and fished around in it for a second - bringing out a tiny box and a singular ruby rose.
''Rose..'' Isaac sighed with a slight chuckle as he saw the girl produce the gifts.
He graciously took the rose - a tradition that had bloomed in their relationship - and stared curiously at the small box.
As he opened it delicately, and he peered at a small silver ring beholding a crest of a chess piece - a knight.
Demitra took it from the box, gently held his right hand and placed it on his finger before kissing the ring delicately.
''Happy birthday.'' she whispered.
The boy stared into her eyes lovingly - he was truly - truly - happy.
