A/N: This is the final chapter of this story. Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Regina kept looking around to make sure that nobody saw her as she walked toward the stables. When she got there, she looked everywhere, but she couldn't find Daniel. For a moment, she was worried that he wouldn't come. She jumped when hands suddenly covered her eyes.

"Happy birthday, Regina," Daniel said as he put a blindfold over her eyes.

"Daniel, what are you doing?"

"I want you to be surprised."

Regina smiled. "You're really putting a lot of effort into this."

Daniel took Regina's hand, and they walked for several minutes.

"Where are we going?" Regina asked.

"We'll be there soon," Daniel said. "You're so impatient."

They walked for a few more minutes, with Daniel leading Regina along.

"So, how was the party?" he asked.

"I survived," Regina said.

Daniel laughed, and after another minute or so, they finally stopped walking.

"We're here," Daniel said.

He took off Regina's blindfold, and tears came to her eyes as she looked around. Daniel had set up a blanket by the apple tree they had planted together when they were children. There were candles all around and a basket full of apples sitting on the blanket. There was also a little chocolate cake with "Happy birthday Regina" written in red.

"Why are you crying?" Daniel asked. "I thought you would like it."

"Oh, I love it," Regina said. "It's just… It's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. Thank you, Daniel."

Regina hugged him, and when they pulled away from each other, they stared into each other's eyes for a moment. Regina could swear that the look in Daniel's eyes was love.

Daniel smiled and looked away. "It helps to be friends with the cooks."

"The cake looks wonderful," Regina said. She could feel herself blushing. "This is a such a sweet gift."

"Oh, I haven't given you your gift yet," Daniel said.

"You haven't?" What else could he be giving her?

"I'll give it to you soon. First, though, you have to make a wish and blow out your candles."

Daniel knelt down and put sixteen little candles on the cake. He lit them and looked up at Regina with a smile.

"Time to make a wish."

Regina closed her eyes and wished that Daniel would feel the same way she did. Then, she knelt down and blew out the candles. She smiled at Daniel.

"So, what did you wish for?" Daniel asked.

Regina laughed. "Well, if I tell you, it won't come true."

Daniel smiled and pulled a little box out of his pocket. He handed the box to Regina, and she gasped as she opened it.

"Daniel, it's beautiful," Regina said as she pulled out the necklace. It was a little golden horse with tiny rubies in it. "Will you help me put it on?"

"I thought you might like it," Daniel said as he clasped the necklace. "This jeweler at the market held it for me while I saved up enough gold to buy it."

Regina turned around to face Daniel.

"I love it," she said.

"I'm glad," Daniel said. "I wanted this to be a great birthday for you."

Then, Regina hesitated for a moment, trying to decide if she should tell him what she was feeling. Finally, she took a deep breath and said it.

"I love you, Daniel."

Daniel's smile lit up his face. "I love you, too, Regina."

Daniel pulled Regina into his arms, and when their lips met, it was the most wonderful moment of her life. Her wish had just come true.
