November 27th, 2025.

Today was officially your boyfriend, Sam Golbach’s twenty-ninth birthday—and Thanksgiving, but in a way you were still celebrating both.

Sam always made sure to go all-out for your birthday as the sweet, loving boyfriend that he was. So obviously, you were always going to do the same for him in return.

You, Colby; Sam’s best friend since freshman year of high school, along with Colby’s girlfriend Malia, had been planning for his birthday, for months.

Everything had to be perfect, according to you—what kind of girlfriend would you be to accept anything less than perfect for the man who always went above and beyond for everyone, who was always selfless.

Who was always kind-hearted and loving.

Here you were now in the rented-out party venue, friends scattered all over the place, conversing, partying—having the night of their lives, hell, even getting black-out drunk.

Sam was off conversing with Colby while you and Malia were setting out some more drinks, music blaring through the speakers located throughout the venue.
