December 13th

Theo POV

It was Taylor's birthday today. Theo wanted to do something truly special to show her how much she meant to her. After much thought and planning for months, Theo decided to organize a surprise birthday party filled with all of Taylor's favorite things.

The morning sun cast a warm glow over the city, Theo stepped out of her house and made her way to the nearest flower shop. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, as she browsed through the colorful displays.

"Hi, Welcome to Starbright, how may I help you?" A young worker asked behind Theo.

Turning around, Theo gave the worker a warm smile. "Hi! Yes, Do you guys have any orchids or hydrangeas here?"

"We do, the orchids and Hydrangeas are here by the window"

"Oh great! Thank you so much!"

"My Pleasure Ms."

Theo walked towards the flowers that were perched near the windows. Her glaze settled on the delicate orchids and the lush hydrangeas, both of which she knew were among Taylor's favorites.

The orchids, with their elegant blooms and graceful stems, seemed to exude an air of sophistication and beauty. Theo imagined Taylor's face lighting up with joy at the sight of such exquisite flowers adorning their home.

On the other hand, the hydrangeas, with their abundant clusters of petals in shades of blue, pink, and white, had a charming and whimsical quality that Theo knew Taylor would adore. She could already picture Taylor's smile as she arranged the vibrant blooms in a vase, their cheerful presence brightening up their space.

With a thoughtful frown, Theo weighed her options, torn between the two equally beautiful choices. After a moment of consideration, she decided to get a combination of both.

With a smile of satisfaction, Theo gathered the flowers in her arms and made her way to the checkout counter.

"Wonderful flower choices!" The workers tell Theo as she rings her up.

"Are these for Taylor?"

Shocked, Theo looked up from her wallet, forgetting she was famous and in a PR stunt with a music industry queen herself.

"Excuse me?" Theo asked bewildered

"Sorry, that came out wrong, I'm just a huge fan of you guys and I've always admired your talent and determination to win and you really inspired me to work harder!" The worker tells Theo as a blush crept onto their cheeks.

Theo's heart swelled with pride at the florist's words. It meant the world to her to hear that she had made a positive impact on someone else's life. "Thank you," she replied sincerely. "That means a lot to me."

"And yes it is for Taylor. It's her birthday and these are her favorite flower."

"Aw, you guys are so cute, I really wish I can find someone that would love me the way you guys love each other."

Theo blushed, "You will, I believe there is someone out there willing to love and cherish you."

The florist smiled before ringing up Theo's purchase and handed Theo her flowers, wishing her a happy birthday for Taylor.

As Theo left the shop, her heart was filled with warmth and gratitude for the kind words of the florist. It was moments like these that reminded her why she loved what she did and the impact she could have on others simply by being herself.

By the time Theo got to Taylor's house, it was already 9:30 in the morning. The morning sun peeked through the curtains, casting a soft glow into Taylor's home, Theo quietly slipped inside, her heart racing with excitement. She knew Taylor would be asleep upstairs, and she wanted to surprise her with a special birthday breakfast.
