The living room hums with the low murmur of party chatter, balloons bobbing against the ceiling as golden afternoon light spills through the windows. The smell of cake frosting and coffee hangs in the air. You slip through the crowd, heart pounding, and spot Felix in the far corner—towering, broad-shouldered, his dark hair catching the light. He’s scrolling his phone, waiting for your dad to return. He looks up, and his blue eyes soften. "Happy birthday, darling," he murmurs, a faint smile tugging at his lips. He watches you approach, and you wonder if this time, he’ll finally say yes.
