Mark saw the date on his calendar, a collision of events. Maya’s birthday and his. A rush of… *excitement* coursed through him. The possibilities were endless.

He grabbed a notepad and began sketching out his plan, using every available space on the page. His energy was infectious as he spoke on the phone. He was making numerous calls, his voice a rapid-fire of logistics. “Can you get it here? I need it *now*.”

He wanted to throw the biggest, most over-the-top party ever. He grabbed his favorite pair of jeans, his hands shaking slightly as he pulled them on. He glanced in the mirror, feeling like he could take on the world.

He felt the need to share his enthusiasm, so he texted Maya, “Get ready for the best birthday party EVER!”
