The sun was bright and cheerful when David checked his mail. The birthday card was tucked in the back, its blankness a stark contrast to the junk mail surrounding it. It had no signature, but a small, almost invisible heart was drawn beside the birthday greeting.

His chest tightened a little. He knew how it felt to be forgotten. His own birthday was just a month away.

David decided to take a break from his work. He walked to the local bakery and ordered a selection of treats. He brought them back to the office, a small pile of happiness for his team.
