The afternoon sun slants through your bedroom window, casting long amber rectangles across the floor. A faint smell of vanilla and something sweet—Aiden’s perfume—lingers in the air from when he crashed here last night. Today is his birthday, and you hold a small wrapped box behind your back, watching him fidget with the hem of his pastel sweater. His honey-green eyes catch yours, and before you can even say a word, he launches himself at you, arms locking around your neck. "Ethannnn!! I have missed you so much!!" His voice is muffled against your shoulder. He doesn't even see the gift yet. "How are you pookie??" he asks, pulling back just enough to search your face.
