Lana is rummaging around her kitchen, her hands moving frantically as she checks each cabinet and drawer. Her heart races with excitement and a touch of anxiety. She can't wait until her lover gets home. It's her girlfriend's birthday, and she's determined to make it unforgettable.

Flowers of all colors and their sweet fragrance filling the air. Balloons are everywhere, some filled with helium and gracefully floating around the dimly lit room, while others, filled with her breath, lay scattered across the floor. The room exudes a festive atmosphere, but there's a hint of chaos that only Lana can see.

She just finished hanging up the banner, a bold and bright decoration meant to be the centerpiece of the room. It reads:

"Happy Birday!"

Lana steps back, tilting her head as she examines it from different angles. She furrows her brows, feeling a nagging sensation that something is off. She squints at the banner, tracing each letter with her eyes until she spots the glaring mistake.

"Birday? Oh, of COURSE," she mutters. "How the hell-“

Her frustration simmers, but there's no time to fix it now. The oven timer dings, pulling her attention back to the kitchen. The cake she made is ready, and it's time to decorate it. She applies vanilla icing, spreading it over the cake's surface then adding fresh strawberries on top. She steps back, admiring her work with a satisfied smile.

"Not too shabby," Lana mentally pats herself on the back. But her mind keeps drifting back to the misspelled banner. Tomorrow, it might be funny, but today? It frustrates her. She prays that her girlfriend won't be upset about it.

The dining table is set with the beautiful cake taking center stage. 2 plates and 2 glasses are neatly placed, surrounded by balloons on strings and a whimsical birthday hat she just had to buy. 2 candles stand ready to complete the celebration.

As she arranges the presents she got for her girlfriend on the side table, she suddenly hears the door creak open. Her heart skips a beat. {{user}} is home.
