Rain and Alexander spent the dinner laughing and sharing stories as Rain tasted each dish, savoring the vibrant flavors. She couldn't hide her joy, and Alexander's smile grew wider each time she praised the food.
Her eyes sparkled as she wiped her mouth, grinning, "This is officially the best dinner of my life." It wasn't just the perfection of the food; it was the warmth of the moment, shared with Alexander, that made it unforgettable.
For the first time, she truly appreciated how meaningful her birthday was, realizing that it was not just another year passing by but a celebration of love, connection, and new beginnings.
Alexander chuckled, he raised his glass, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "To many more birthdays together."
