"You're talking nonsense!" Aaron rarely confronts Doris directly. He knows I care deeply for Doris and doesn't want to provoke my displeasure, so he usually avoids interacting with her.

But now, he stands up fiercely, shouting, "Mom's birthday is today! We share the same birthday! I wouldn't forget!"

Charles notices me and stands up as well. He doesn't say anything, but his face bears a hint of expectation.

"Evelyn," he calls out, awkwardly fumbling over my name, "Happy Birthday."

on him. "I forgot to mention that I've changed my birthday."

After a moment, I add, "But such a trivial thing shouldn't be your concern, should it?"
