After lighting it, a smiling Hellena Groove pushed it in front of Aubree Groove.
"Aubree, make a wish."
The lights in the restaurant suddenly went out, plunging the whole world into darkness. Only in front of Aubree the faint candlelight flickered, making the face of the young lady even softer, exuding a mysteriously beautiful light.

Dallyn, Agave Rinto and Titi Groove didn't blink at her.
Three seconds later, Aubree opened her eyes and gently blew out the candle.
Hellena clapped her hands and sang the birthday song in a clear voice, with Titi Groove and Dallyn providing harmonies. Even Agave Rinto hummed a few lines along with them.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows behind them, snowflakes fluttered outside. The young lady's eyebrows were tranquil, her smile was serene.
Across the long dining table, Agave Rinto's gaze was deeply fixed on her.
