Timothy’s phone buzzed unexpectedly as he walked out of his apartment. Glancing at the screen, he saw an unknown number displayed. Curious, he answered the call.

“Hello?”

“Hey, Timothy. It’s Arial Can you come over to my apartment? There’s something important we need to discuss,” Aria’s voice, usually light and carefree, held a hint of urgency.

“Sure, I’ll be right there,” Timothy replied, a sense of anticipation settling over him. He couldn’t help but wonder what could be so important that Aria needed to discuss it in person.

As Timothy walked across the hall to Evie and Aria’s apartment, he found the atmosphere unusual. Aria poked her head out, looked in both directions, and dragged him inside. He first spotted Lucas on the couch, huddled over the coffee table with some papers strewn about.

The room buzzed with an energy that felt both secretive and purposeful. He looked around, expecting Evie to come walking out, but her presence didn’t seem apparent.

“Timothy, hey! Thanks for coming.” Lucas greeted him, a forced smile playing on her lips.

Timothy nodded in acknowledgment, though his eyes were guarded. “Good to see you again.”

There was no further explanation as Aria guided him over to the couch and all but threw him onto it before taking a seat across from him on the floor.

Timothy furrowed his brows, sensing an unspoken tension in the air. “What’s going on? Why all the secrecy?”

Aria exchanged a glance with Lucas before sighing. “Timothy, we need you to be discrete about what you’re about to hear. It’s important.”

The cryptic nature of their words heightened Timothy’s curiosity. “Okay, I’m all ears. What’s happening?”

Lucas took a deep breath, choosing his words carefully. “We’ve been planning a trip to the lake, you know, the one we’ve been talking about for a while. But we’ve had to push it back because Evie has been so busy lately.”

Aria chimed in, her eyes darting between Timothy and Lucas. “So, we thought, why not celebrate Evie’s birthda
