    The lights dimmed, and voices swelled in a harmonious rendition of the birthday song, while Sanford,


    bathed in the soft candlelight, silently made his wish.


    Rosalynn felt a firm grip on her hand. She then shot a warning nce at Brian.


    Leaning down, Brian whispered, “Quit giving me the stink eye, or I’ll kiss you right here, in front of


    everyone.”


    Rosalynn was lost for words. She had no choice but to bear it!


    “Sanford, you’re obliged to share the first slice of cake with the one you love the most,” someone called


    out as they flipped on the Light.


    Sanford’s gaze found Maggie, momentarily lost in the crowd. He beckoned her with a crooked finger.


    “Maggie, over here.”


    This was Maggie’s first time at such a grand event, and she felt a wave of self—consciousness wash


    over her.


    The crowd parted, forming a pathway. Head bowed, she walked over.


    Sanford sliced into the cake and presented the first piece to Maggie.


    The men around them teased, “Sanford, you know the tradition for the first piece of cake, right?”


    “Don’t keep us waiting, Sanford!”


    Rosalynn, observing Maggie’s evident embarrassment, gave Brian’s hand a sharp pinch. “What’s the


    big deal with the first slice of cake?”


    Brian’s touch Lingered on her hand. “Keep watching. You’ll see.”


    Rosalynn turned her attention back to Sanford and Maggie, encircled by the crowd. She watched as


    Sanford took a bite of the cake before offering the rest to Maggie.


    Maggie, crimson with shyness, attempted to sidestep the action but waspelled to ept.


    Once Maggie had finished her bite, the crowd urged her to feed Sanford in return.


    Rosalynn watched this unfold, her cheeks flushing. “Is this how you all celebrate birthdays?”


    Brian chuckled Lightly. “More or less.”


    Sanford enjoyed a good party, and his friends often concocted such harmless antics to keep the mood


    light and lively.


    At this, Rosalynn withdrew her hand from Brian’s. “So, you celebrate your birthday the same way?”
