One day in early December, Ian Grant started getting busy, doing a thorough cleaning of the house and buying lots of good ingredients at the market.
Sienna Thornton thought it was because Mr. and Mrs. Sutton were coming over, but later heard from Quentin Thorne that it was Quentin's birthday the next day. He planned to invite some friends over for dinner, so Ian was preparing for her husband's birthday party as usual.
Since Sienna Thornton had to go on dates with Simon Forrester after work before heading home, Quentin Thorne specifically told her to come home early on his birthday.
She was thinking about what gift to get Quentin Thorne the night before, but couldn't come up with any good ideas. While driving in the morning, she suddenly realized she had never seen Quentin wear sunglasses, so she took advantage of her lunch break to go to the mall across from her workplace and picked out a pair of sunglasses for him.

It was early winter, and it got dark early.
