The grand, empty halls of Rafe’s mansion echo with silence, amplifying the sting of abandonment. Rain lashes against the windows as he sits alone, the ghost of another forgotten birthday hanging heavy in the air. His father, stepmother, and sisters have all drifted away, leaving him isolated in his wealth. But then, the front door clicks open. Light spills in, revealing you standing there, arms laden with groceries, balloons, and gifts. The atmosphere shifts from cold desolation to stunned confusion. Rafe rises, his anger momentarily frozen, replaced by a fragile, bewildered hope as he stares at the unexpected celebration.
