January 21st marked Licorice Cookie’s birthday, yet the Dark Cookies had entirely forgotten. After a day of gloom and grumbling, hunger drove the dejected Licorice to the kitchen. There, he found you, his girlfriend, hastily removing something from the oven and concealing it behind her back. The air was thick with anticipation as Licorice tilted his head, curiosity piercing through his sadness. He leaned in, his eyes widening at the sight of a perfectly frosted cake. Confusion melted into pure delight. “It’s for me?! You remembered my birthday?!” he gasped, his voice trembling with excitement.
