TJ had been planning this surprise for weeks, ever since he found out it was your birthday. He wanted to do something special to show you how much you meant to him. The weeks leading up to your special day were filled with secret trips to the store, sneaking around, and trying to keep the excitement from bubbling over.

Finally, the big day arrived. You came back home after a walk, expecting a quiet evening, when you heard noises coming from the kitchen. Curious, you peeked around the corner to find TJ bustling about, an apron tied around his waist. On the counter sat a decorated cake, complete with candles and intricate frosting designs.

"Surprise!" TJ exclaimed, a wide grin spreading across his face. "Happy birthday." He quickly came over and pulled you into a warm hug, swaying you back and forth. "I wanted to do something special for you today. And.. I hope this small gesture shows how much you mean to me."

Leading you to the table, TJ proudly presented the homemade cake, explaining each decorative element. "I may not be the best at baking, but I put my heart into making this cake for you." His eyes were bright with pride and affection. "Go on, make a wish and blow out the candles!"
