Peace of love

Are you sure? Alex asked, wondering whether he had misheard.

Yes,

But when did it all start?

I'm not sure, but I do know that I want to do this.

It's because you're feeling guilty or pity.

Neither of these. I'm doing it to make him happy. He suffered for a long time, and I'm doing it because I feel it.

Think about this carefully; I don't want to regret it or hurt anyone.

I'm 100% sure, and don't worry, it's time to be happy. She told him to smile widely.

Two months have passed, and much has changed in that time. Mia is three months old and is both healthy and adorable. Their bond is strengthening, especially Marco and Sofy's. They become closer than before, still fighting about many things and eat Alex's head every time, but they in the end sort out because neither of them can stay angry. Marco and Alex joined their team, but Sofia took a break for Mia. Marco and Alex finally moved into their new home after months of planning. It's difficult for them to live alone because they miss them so much, especially Marco.

They always pay them visits when they have the time. Marco's birthday was just a week away. So she planned a big surprise for him. As a result, she asked Alex to come home this afternoon.

Think about it again. Okay, you know it's a big thing for him. I'm not sure how he'll react after this.

Don't you believe me? She asked

I do, but still.

Then stop being worried.

What are you talking about? Marco came in from work and asked. Alex and Sofia were both startled to see him.

It's all about Mia; what are you doing here? Alex asked.

I miss my girl. Where is she? Looking around, he asked.

She is sleeping.

You seem exhausted. She asked as he approached and took a seat beside her.

His jerk skipped work to come here, and I'm stuck doing everything. He murmured this while staring at Alex and resting his head on her shoulder.

Do you want something? She asked after some time and ran her hand through his hair.

Special coffee, please, he said with a smile. And Alex rolled his eyes. Sometimes he was so done with both of them.

Okay. with Sofia's moves in the kitchen

What? Marco asked Alex, who gave him a disgusted face.

Can you guys stop flirting for a second?

Why are you jealous? He asked mockingly.

jealous of your ass.

Every time. Why don't you go out and find yourself a girlfriend?

Shut up. glaring at him, he said.

On Marco's day.

The day had been too quiet and dull; no one had wished him or greeted him. When he awoke this morning, he eagerly stepped out of the room for a special breakfast, as Alex does every year on his birthday, but there was none, and Alex was also sleeping in his room, which surprised him. Is Alex forgetting his birthday? He will, however, never forget all this past year.

So, dissatisfied, he went inside the room and checked his phone, expecting a message or a call for greeting, but there was none. He was perplexed and double-checked the date to see whether it was correct, but it was September 3, his birthday. He is becoming more confused; has everyone forgotten about his birthday? Not a single person remembers it. He began to question himself. He went to the kitchen after cleaning himself and noticed Alex had come out of his room and walked his way. He thought Alex might recall, so he stood there with a windy grin on his face. He was expecting a greeting, but there wasn't one. Alex drove by him and took some water and began to drink.

You get up early? Alex asked.

I couldn't sleep, so I thought to make breakfast.

Okk. Alex said he was ready to leave the kitchen when he was stopped by him.

Did you forget something? He asked, hopping, if he remembered.

Me...? Alex questioned, "No, why do we have to do something?" He asked.

No, it's just that ...(my birthday idiot) cursed his mind.

What?

Nothing; i think there is anything about the case we need to do. In a lowering tone, he said

There is nothing; you only need to analyse certain reports. He then walked to his room, and there he was, Marco, standing with a sad face, clearly aware that his best friend had forgotten his birthday for the first time in years. But he can't blame him; they're so busy with the new murder investigation that he may forget.

They both proceeded to the agency, where everyone was busy at work as usual and treated him as normal, making him more and more depressed and angry. He called Sofia, but she didn't answer, so he assumed she was busy and let it go. He's been sulking all day and hasn't spoken to anyone unless absolutely necessary. Alex went to see Pick for some research as well; he is alone in the office with a few coworkers.

He was preparing to leave at eight o'clock when Sofia called.

Hello.

Hi, Mac, What are you doing? She asked

About leaving the agency

Okk.

Sorry for not calling earlier; I was busy with Mia.

So, what is she doing?

It's just playing, well, Marco. I need your help.

What is it? Is everything fine? Concerned, he asked.

Yaa, it's just that I didn't feel well and can't take care of her alone, so if you're free, could you come? She asked slowly.

Yes, I'll be there. What happened to you?

It's just a minor fever; I called Alex as well, but he was somewhere.

Okay, I'll be there. He then hung up the phone and headed to her home.
