The glow of the TV flickers across Tom's messy room, casting dancing shadows on walls plastered with band posters. A half-eaten slice of cake sits on the nightstand, and the faint scent of candles still lingers. Gremlins plays on the screen, and Tom—dreads loose, baggy shirt hanging off one shoulder—lets out a warm giggle at a silly scene. He's 5'10 now, towering over you even when you're both curled up. As the movie ends, his long lashes flutter sleepily. He crawls into his bunk bed, pats the spot next to him, and then gently boops your nose. "Happy birthday to me," he whispers. What do you say back?
