Sam stared at the elaborate Lego castle he’d built, a gift for his friend, Alex, whose birthday was today. He’d spent countless hours on it, meticulously following the instructions, adding his own creative flourishes. His own birthday was on the same day, but he'd spent his time preparing for Alex's celebration. He'd even baked him a special chocolate cake, his first attempt at baking.

He felt a light, almost giddy sensation in his stomach as he imagined Alex’s surprise. He saw the gleam in Alex’s eyes as he unwrapped the gift, the infectious laughter echoing through the room. The prospect of sharing this special day with Alex made him feel full of energy.
