Hasty Feisty
It's now late afternoon, and I'm back inside my house with my mother, who bought cake, food, birthday decorations, party balloons, and more for my special tenth birthday.
"Where's papa?" I asked, but then my eyes widened as I saw the decorations. "Wow! You prepared all of these, mama?!"
When my mother heard me mention him, her smile faded, but she smiled again as she prepared dinner while I sat at the table.
Minutes later, the candles on top of the tenth candle are lit, and my smile grows as my eyes convey delight and contentment, even if it's only a simple birthday celebration, which I appreciated, and even if it's just me and my mother... again.
