Zinnia tiptoed quietly downstairs. Once in the living room, she set the things she had prepared on the coffee table. Then she took out her phone and tapped the top contact.

Zinnia: Yannis, are you up?] She sent the message and got a reply almost instantly.

Yannis: [Why are you still up?]

Zinnia: [Yannis, you’re still awake? Come to the living room for a sec.]

Yannis: [On my way.]

Zinnia set down her phone, her nerves tightening as she glanced at the thing in front of her. Soon, she heard the soft sound of a door opening not far behind her.

Yannis tiptoed in and quietly closed the door, his gaze immediately drawn to the petite figure by the coffee table. The sleepiness in his eyes instantly dissipated.

The living room was dark, and the only light came from the clear moonlight streaming through the window. It cast a gentle glow over her delicate form. He moved stealthily closer.

When Yannis saw what she had placed in front of her, he paused in surprise.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Zinnia turned around, her eyes crinkling into crescents. “Happy birthday,

Yannis!”

She carefully inserted the candle she had prepared into her homemade little cake, lit it with a lighter, and then proudly held up her simple yet heartfelt creation.

Yannis’s eyes shimmered with emotion. He never expected her to prepare such a heartfelt surprise.

Through the warm amber glow of the candle, Yannis lowered his gaze and met Zinnia’s smiling eyes. At that moment, he thought she looked absolutely radiant. Her smile was so bright and beautiful.

Seeing Yannis frozen in surprise, Zinnia sprang up with the little cake and thrust it toward him. “Yannis, come on. The day’s almost gone. Make your wish now!”

Yannis snapped out of his daze. Lowering his gaze, he looked at the little cake before him and then at Zinnia, who was holding it. He closed his eyes.

A soft and sweet birthday song rang in his ears. “Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you…”

Looking at Yannis before her, Zinnia saw how the candlelight softened the sharp, well–defined features of his face, lending him a gentle warmth.
