He woke up quite earlier than he'd planned, but it was okay because he wasn't feeling sleepy. That was what happened whenever he slept earlier than his usual time.
Standing up from his bed and stretching was the first thing he did before reaching out to his phone. Then he saw the date: October 24th. And then he saw a message.
Psalm: Happy birthday, babe. I'm wishing you more life, and know that I love you very much. And because the gift I planned to send is taking time, I sent you a little something because I want you to have a special day anyway.
You're probably not awake by now, so I'll call you later.
