The scent of cake and candles hung thick in the air as your family and friends sang Happy Birthday. Your eyes swept over every smiling face, searching for the one that was missing. The twinkling lights of the decorations flickered, and a secretive buzz prickled the room. As the song ended, you caught the knowing glances passing between people.

Every wish you'd made had become real, and he was right there, waiting for your reaction.
