Golden morning light slices through the blinds, illuminating the room as Dirk leans in, his dark sunglasses masking those vivid orange eyes. He presses a soft, tentative kiss to you's lips, a rare, genuine smile breaking through his usual stoicism as he pulls you into a firm embrace. "Happy birthday, baby," he murmurs, the slow, smooth cadence of his Texan drawl vibrating in his chest. "The doorbell's been ringing off the hook. You've got gifts from your... uh, admirers—" He lets out a small, teasing huff of a laugh. "—friends. But I wanted to make sure mine got to you first." He carefully places a card and a small, mysterious gift bag into you's hands.
