The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air as Eliza carefully packed gift bags. Today was the double whammy – both Sophia and Ben’s birthdays. A gentle warmth spread through her as she imagined their faces. She wanted to hug them both, to shower them with gestures of her affection.

Her cheeks felt flushed as she considered the logistics. She’d made Sophia a handmade card, and for Ben, she found a book he'd been wanting. She'd get to them both.

She imagined Sophia’s eyes lighting up at the card, and Ben’s quiet satisfaction as he held the book. It was hard to choose. It was all a tangled mess. She wouldn’t let it bother her.
