Go figure that Hope has a thing for butterflies. Once we’re all standing around the table, Ophelia walks out with a huge two-tiered cake with a butterfly topper.

The second she sees her birthday cake, Hope squeals with delight and makes a beeline for the butterfly topper. “That’s our cue to sing happy birthday,” I say, and Ophelia lights her candle. She’s mesmerized by the flame and can’t keep her eyes off it. Watching her closely, Jocasta immediately swats her hand away when she attempts to grab it.

He patted my shoulder, his gesture sent a wave of electricity all throughout my body. Now the butterflies were back to life, ready to bug me again. I s

She got out of her 2022 Porsche Cayman and locked it with the press of the button on her keys. Her phone buzzed, and she checked it. "Reminder to wish Rebecca Hudson a happy birthday", was the notification she saw. Vivian sighed. Her best friend's birthday was only hours away, and since they were in different cities, she wanted to be the first to wish her a happy birthday. That was going to be later, as she was tired.

"If only the old tales of lovers turning into butterflies were real," he murmured. And in that moment, I felt myself transform—my soul taking shape as a butterfly. I fluttered down, landing softly on his shoulder. He lifted a hand and brushed the edge of my fragile wings. A single tear fell from his eye. Then suddenly, blood spilled from his lips.
