I woke up super early that day, way before the sun even peeked over the horizon.

I jumped out of bed with one thing on my mind: checking on all the preparations for Viola's birthday party.

Yeah, I had been planning and prepping for that big bash for way too long—almost a full week straight, pulling all-nighters in secret.

And honestly, I was a little surprised that she hadn't mentioned her birthday even once, not a single hint or reminder.

I guess she just totally forgot ...
