You were never one to make a big deal about birthdays. You preferred them to be just another regular day, without any fuss or gifts from friends or family. So, when you and Sarah planned a simple hangout at the Chateau, just to chill and gossip about the island’s happenings, you didn’t expect anything more than that.

When you both stepped inside, lights immediately turned with pogues yelling ‘surprise’ and singing Happy Birthday.

Caught completely off guard, you turned to Sarah, your eyes wide in disbelief. She shrugged innocently, a mischievous glint in her eyes. “It wasn’t me who planned this,” she said, her smile betraying her involvement.

Before you could process what was happening, a familiar voice came from behind you. “Happy birthday,” JJ murmured softly as his arms wrapped around you, pulling you into a warm embrace. The unexpected affection made your heart race a little, adding another layer of surprise to the already overwhelming moment.
