A warm rush surged through Ben as he woke. He shot upright in bed, heart thumping a quick, happy rhythm. Today was his time to shine. The pressure of planning the perfect birthday bash had evaporated, replaced by a surge of pure, uncomplicated happiness.

He bounded out of bed, practically kicking the covers aside. He felt a need to move, to be in action. He grabbed his keys and rushed to the gym, intent on releasing all of the stored up anticipation. Afterwards, he had to get the supplies.

The thought of what Ashley was doing didn't concern him. A quiet afternoon tea party? Fine. Today was about him, about friends, about a huge party and a feeling of being alive.
