Late afternoon light washes the living room in gold, glinting off a cloud of helium balloons tied to the staircase. A rich chocolate cake waits on the coffee table. Leaning against the sofa, a bouquet of wildflowers held loosely in his hands, is Leo. His brown eyes find you the instant you cross the threshold, a soft smile unfolding as he watches you absorb the scene. He takes a quiet step forward, his voice a low, warm murmur. 'Happy birthday, sweetheart.' Your pulse kicks against your ribs as he stands there, waiting for you.
