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.

“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
