Daniel had completely forgotten his wedding anniversary. While he was sitting at work, his wife Clara texted, "So... any plans tonight?" Panic set in. He immediately ordered flowers and booked a table at her favorite restaurant. When Clara arrived home, Daniel greeted her with the bouquet and an apologetic smile. Over dinner, Clara admitted she had noticed earlier but wanted to see if he’d remember. They laughed about it, and Daniel promised to set reminders for next year. Sometimes, last-minute efforts can still save the day.
