Everyone gazed upon me, waiting for me to blow out my candles. Mom and Dad held each other in an embrace, watching me, their little girl. Ivy and Keala's eyes filled with hunger. They were practically drooling for the rich chocolate dobash cake.
I looked to the Conway boys. Kalem gave a soft toothy grin, his green eyes crinkling. Brooks was looking down in boredom. After a split second, he met my eyes. His composure lit up as he held our stare.
I saw everything in those honey-brown eyes. I mapped out my past, present, and future on those freckles. I dreamt of what it was like to run my fingers through his golden brown hair. He cracked a smile, so small only I could see. I returned the gesture as I blew out my candles. It was then I knew what my wish was. Now and every birthday after this.
