We pulled up to the house, and I rolled my eyes as he got out of the car and opened the door for me. So, now he had time for me, did he? He offered his hand to help me out, and I reluctantly took it.

“Thank you, mister good guy,” I said, a layer of sarcasm in my voice..

He said nothing, just walked me to the front door. The guards bowed their heads as we passed, and I gritted my teeth, wishing they wouldn’t act so subservient. We went inside, the tension between us thick and uncomfortable.

The door swung open, and a cascade of colorful flowers rained down on me. I gasped and squeezed my eyes shut, a small smile playing on my lips. I opened them again, and saw a group of people standing before me, grinning from ear to ear.

“Happy birthday!” they yelled, and I put my hand over my mouth, a rush of happiness. flooding my senses. I turned to Kex, who was smiling at me, his eyes soft and warm.

“Did you have anything to do with this?” I asked, my voice filled with wonder.

He nodded. “I would rather not be selfish by celebrating your birthday alone with you. I know how much you love Aisha, and I knew she would want to celebrate with you. So I decided to do this.”

“Don’t cry,” she said, her voice soft and reassuring.

I let out a self–deprecating laugh. “I’m such a baby, stupid me,” I said, brushing away my

tears.

Aisha tugged on my arm, leading me to the dining room table. There, a massive cake sat, the words “Happy Birthday, Nelly” written in gold icing. Twenty–four candles
