The anticipation had been building all day for Noah. He felt a bubbly energy coursing through him. He was finally going to see Alex, his partner, after she'd been away on a work trip. He'd spent the day cleaning the apartment, buying flowers, and prepping their favorite meal.

The moment Alex walked through the door, Noah’s heart rate quickened. She pulled him into a warm embrace.

"I missed you," he said.

"I missed you, too," Alex said. "And… I have a surprise." She then began to speak in his native language. Noah was taken aback. He didn't know how to respond. He just stood there, smiling from ear to ear. He was giddy.
