Today was supposed to be the best day ever. You had been looking forward to your birthday for weeks, knowing that living with the Sturniolo triplets meant it would be chaotic, loud, and unforgettable.

But when you ran downstairs, grinning from ear to ear, no one even looked up.

Matt was scrolling on his phone, Nick was editing a video, and Chris was messing around in the kitchen, making a mess like usual. No “happy birthday,” no hugs, no surprise waiting for you—just nothing.

Your stomach dropped. They… forgot?

You tried hinting at it—clearing your throat, sighing dramatically, even muttering, “Wow, today feels like a special day, huh?” But all you got was a distracted “Mhm.”

Fighting back the disappointment, you swallowed the lump in your throat and decided maybe it just didn’t matter to them as much as it did to you.

What you didn’t know? They had been planning something huge all along. And the second you stormed off to your room, thinking they didn’t care, the real surprise was just about to begin.
