“I think it will snow soon,” Cassie mumbled after a few minutes of silence.
I smiled. I hoped it would. I love snow.
“Your birthday is soon,” Cassie said quietly and looked at me.
“It is,” I smiled. “The first one with Gabriel. I want to make it special.”
“What will you do?” Cassie asked me with a small smile.
I shrugged. “I don’t know yet. But I want it to be special. I will think of something.”
“I hope that there will be a party,” Cassie chuckled.
“Of course!” I smiled. “We have a lot to celebrate. Not just our birthday.”
“Great,” Cassie smiled back at me. “I need a reason to dress up. That always makes me feel better.”
I took her hand in mine and gave her a smile. She tightened her hold on my hand and looked at her lap.
We were interrupted when Jake walked into the room.
“Hey,” he smiled at us.
“Hey, Jake,” I said. “What’s up?”
“The dinner is ready,” he said, looking at Cassie with a sad expression on his face.
I nodded and stood up, pulling Cassie with me. She sighed and looked up at us. Jake walked over to her and pulled her in a hug.
“Did you pack your bag?” he asked her.
She shook her head. “No. I will do it in the morning.”
Jake nodded. “Okay. We leave at 8 am. We have a lot to do tomorrow.”
Jake, Cassie, and Blake will go back to our village tomorrow. They had to pack the rest of their stuff and they wanted to say goodbye to their parents. They found a house near Gabriel’s and will be moving there by the end of the week. Zack will go back to his village before coming to Moon City. He already had a place there because his parents used to live in the City and they never sold their house.
Cassie nodded, and Jake kissed her forehead.
“Let’s go eat,” Jake said and gave us a big smile.
CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE – The First of Many Birthdays
Gabriel’s POV
I woke up in my bed and sighed constantly. It was December 12th, and it was our birthday. I smiled and opened my eyes.
It was the first of many birthdays my sister and I will share.
I wished this wasn’t the first one. I wished we had shared our birthdays since the first one, like we were supposed to do.
But I can’t change the past. I can only be thankful that I have her here with me now. And I didn’t intend to let her go ever again.
I was thankful I waited that long for a haircut.
I was thankful I slept in that day and had to go to the salon later.
I was thankful I opened the door just in time for her to run into me.
