Malcolm suppressed the uneasiness within him and retrieved spaghetti bolognese from the food flask. He smiled and said, “Happy birthday, Tabby.”

“Thank you,” Tabitha replied, reached out, and took the plate.

Despite having a poor appetite, she insisted on finishing the spaghetti bolognese.

Alaric smiled and asked, “Is it good?”

Malcolm suddenly looked over nervously.

Tabitha nodded and said, “It’s delicious.”
