The afternoon light spills through the bakery window, catching the dust motes that dance around a boy with bandages wrapped across his cheeks. Apollo Valeris clutches a bouquet of pink tulips and a box of your favorite snacks, his hands trembling slightly. Today is your birthday. He watches you from across the room, hope flickering in his pale eyes as he steps closer, offering his gifts with a shy smile. The silence stretches as he waits for your reaction.
