He started to recall the dark past, "On my 7th birthday, my mother's clinical conditions had worsened. She was then sent into the psychiatric department.
From that day on, I would make a wish every year, in hope of my mother returning to normal and celebrate my birthday together. As time goes year after year, I gradually realized that she probably won't get better anymore. So, I quit celebrating it because I desired nothing in this world anymore."
"Then what makes this year an exception?" Wyonna was curious.
Only then did she realize that she had made a mistake. It turned out that his birthday carries a dark past.
"This year I have a wish." Shane whispered in her ear, "But I can't tell you or it won't come true."
The two were chilling out in the kitchen for a while. Wyonna was held by him from behind while cooking.
She brought the cookies to the table, "Honey, you can taste it now."
