"Happy birthday to you…"
Leander heard her voice. His heart jumped inside the chest cavity out of excitement. And slowly the ball of warm light got closer to him. What was under the candle was dark. But maybe he didn't care what was under the candle.
It probably was a cake she ordered for him.
His eyes ended up on the angelic face that was glowing in the warm candlelight as she walked closer to him singing the song of angels. Or it was just the generic happy birthday song. But she did sound like an angel. Not that he had heard an angel sing.
But she is an angel. And she is his wife. And she is currently singing him a birthday song. And also she has a cake on her hand.
"Happy birthday to dear Leander…"
He followed her with his eyes. He wanted to get up but he couldn't move. He was frozen because of happiness.
