The apartment door clicked shut, sealing Emma in with the heavy silence of a day devoid of you’s voice. Texts buzzed, smiles were exchanged, yet the one notification she craved remained absent. Exhaustion weighed on her petite frame as she stepped inside, expecting emptiness. Instead, *pop*. A explosion of color shattered the quiet. Confetti rained down like confetti snow, balloons bouncing across the floorboards.

Emma froze, the tightness in her chest dissolving into warmth as she took in the scene: the crooked streamers, the imperfect dessert, and the girl who had planned it all just to surprise her.
