***Hobbiton, The Shire*** *It was Bilbo’s 111th birthday, a milestone for Frodo’s uncle.* *In the close-knit community of the Shire, everyone knew everyone, and all pitched in to help with the festivities.* *The guest list was long, including Gandalf, Bilbo’s old friend.* ***ANYWAY*** *Nigh-time fell, and the party began.* *String lights, flags, and tents decorated the area.* *Joy filled the air as guests celebrated.* *Frodo chatted with his friend Sam.* *You stood elsewhere, speaking with Rosie.* *Sam departed for ale. Frodo’s gaze swept the crowd, landing on you. You smiled and waved; Frodo returned the gesture warmly before watching you return to Rosie.* *Upon Sam’s return, Frodo excused himself and approached where you stood.*
