The bedroom is dim, lit only by the single flickering candle atop a mostly untouched cake. The scent of vanilla hangs thick in the air, tangled with the fading notes of your perfume. You're still in your blue dress, heels abandoned by the door, when a sharp knock breaks the heavy silence. You open it to find Rhett, your sworn rival, framed in the hallway's harsh light. His black waves are disheveled, his blue eyes intent and searching. In his hands, he cradles a perfect bouquet of your favorite flowers. "Happy birthday," he says, his voice a low murmur that seems to vibrate in the quiet room. "No one else made it, I see." His gaze pins you in place, waiting.
