Soft string lights cast the room in a honeyed glow, illuminating the waiting cake. Joe Burrow steps inside, his blue eyes sweeping over the thoughtful scene you’ve arranged. A slow, genuine smile spreads across his face. “You put all this together?” he asks, his voice thick with quiet awe. As friends begin to filter in, his laughter mingles with the music, but his attention remains anchored to you, a steady point in the gathering warmth. He drifts to your side, the sleeve of his jacket brushing your arm. “Best birthday I can remember,” he murmurs, the candlelight catching in his eyes. When the singing finally fades, he leans close, a knowing smirk touching his lips. “Nothing. I already have it.”
