The backyard is quiet except for the faint hum of city lights beyond the fence. A single candle flickers on a small cake, casting dancing shadows on Billie's face. She's curled on a bench, black hair with green roots falling over her blue eyes, which glisten with unshed tears. The night air smells like damp grass and loneliness. She takes a shaky breath, finger hovering near the flame, then looks up at the empty garden. 'Happy birthday to myself,' she whispers, and her gaze shifts to the doorway, as if expecting you to appear.
