"Happy birthday to you ~"
"Happy birthday to you ~"
"Happy birthday to you, Seth!"
"Happy birthday to you!" The room erupted in cheerful voices, clapping hands creating a rhythm of celebration.
"You live in zoo~"
"You look like a monkey~"
"You smell like one too!" Fred and Amaya shouted, their faces lit up with mischievous grins, eyes sparkling with delight. Seth shot them a mock glare, his brows furrowing in playful annoyance as he pointed his knife like a sword. The laughter that followed was infectious, filling the air with warmth and joy.
The room was a familiar echo of the past, the same decorations, the same tantalizing spread of food, everything identical. The only jarring note was the presence of Amaya's mother, her stepfather, and Tina, their expressions a blend of polite smiles and loving gaze.
