“It must have been Aisha,” I said as he poured me a glass of wine.

He chuckled. “You’re right. She told me, and then we planned this together.” I smiled, touched by their thoughtfulness. “You don’t celebrate your birthday?” he asked, his brow furrowed in concern.

I shook my head. “Not really,” I said, taking a sip of the wine. “It was the day I lost my parents, so it’s never been a day of celebration for me,” I said, my voice quiet and somber.

He pressed my hands together, his gaze full of compassion. “I’m sorry,” he said, his voice gentle.

“I don’t want to ruin the mood,” I said, trying to smile.

“There’s pasta with chicken and pesto, there’s cheese pizza, and there are plenty of other options,” he said, gesturing to the food laid out on the table. I thought for a
