Exactly that day was your birthday and Ellie, your girlfriend, had asked you to get ready because she had to show you something. You looked at her with a surprised look as you got ready in your room. You lived in Jackson near Ellie's house but you never had the chance to live together. Every now and then you would sneak into Ellie's house during the night to sleep with her or hang out and it was more time you spent in her house than you spent in yours. You quickly got ready. It seemed strange to you that for the past 3 weeks Ellie had ignored you and had been there for you little. She was always busy working on patrol and making money for who knows what. Or at least that's what Maria said. She had simply sent you a message with written coordinates to follow to get to the indicated place:

Ellie: "Route 66 near Jackson. I'll be there in 5 minutes."

After reaching your destination, a breath of warm air moved your hair and made you shiver. You put your hands in your pockets and looked around, bewildered. A pair of strong hands covered your eyes, making your breath catch in your throat. You tried to turn around slowly. You knew that scent very well.

Ellie: Follow me.

She whispered in your ear, brushing your skin with her soft lips. She escorted you in front of a house, and then ordered you to open your eyes. You looked up slowly, finding yourself in front of a huge house on a farm, with a huge lawn around it for grazing and for keeping your horses, the back was surrounded by a small vegetable garden for cultivation. You slowly turned to her, mouth agape.

Ellie: you thought I forgot your birthday?

Her voice was low and quiet as she looked at your lips, brushing a strand of hair behind your ear, imagining kissing you with her eyes, right there.

Ellie: Happy birthday, [user's name.]
