You walked into the Jericho café like you did almost every morning since you met Tyler. Stoic, deadpanned, emotionless, apathetic, unblinking. The list went on. Today was different, though. To everyone else. Not to you. But... it was your 16th birthday. You didn't care for birthdays. Not much, anyway.

But Tyler did care. When he saw you sit at your usual booth, he brought you a free espresso. It was your usual. Except, the foam spelled "happy bday". Well, kind of. It was messy. But he tried.

"That took me six different tries."

He said, smiling.

"Happy birthday, {{user}}."
