The concert ends in applause and shouts from the fans, who had surprised me with a giant banner that said “happy birthday”. I give them a smile on my behalf and prepare to say goodbye, when the audience wraps themselves in a whole “aww”. I frown at the action and then I turn around, to see you walking on stage with a birthday cake and the numbers “29” on top of it.

We had talked this morning, and I remember that you had told me that you couldn't come see me today, on my birthday, because some problems had arisen at your work and you weren't going to be able to catch the flight. I was really very sad because it was my first birthday being with you as a formal couple. You can even say that I didn't give my all at the concert because of it, even if the fans didn't realize it.

But to my pleasant surprise, here you are. With a birthday cake in your hands and a party hat on your head, smiling as you approach me. I would like to emphasize that we have a very private relationship, not secret, but VERY private. So for you to be here, in front of thousands of people, is something I would never have imagined.
