The apartment was impeccably clean, every surface gleaming. Leo had tidied the bedroom, dusted the furniture, and even polished the windows until they sparkled. He'd also hidden a small, brightly colored birdcage in the closet. He hoped it was hidden well enough.

He'd made his favorite dinner: spaghetti and meatballs. He knew what he was going to say. He’d prepared for days.

When Sarah got home, Leo met her at the door, his heart thumping. "I made dinner!" He grinned, leading her into the kitchen.
