    She took a bite and slightly furrowed her brow–the spaghetti was overcooked. Connor must have


    been really hungry to find it delicious


    Connor quickly finished his bowl of spaghetti, looking utterly content.


    Cam nced at the clock and noted it was ten minutes to midnight, just ten minutes left until


    Connors birthday was over.


    “Sir, just a moment” Cam said as she stood up swiftly, grabbing a cake from the fridge and lighting


    a candle on it.


    She brought over the cake, softly humming, “Happy Birthday to you.. Happy Birthday to you…”


    Connor looked up, surprised at first, then his lips curled into a soft, tender smile as he gazed


    unwaveringly at Cam


    “Make a wish” Cam sang, adding the line quickly before cing the cake in front of him.


    With a nod Connor closed his eyes, sped his hands together and made a devout wish. After


    making his wish, he gently blew out the


    “Wow” Cam cheered. “Happy Birthday!”


    “Thank you” Connor said, his smile widening, touched by her gesture.


    “know you don’t eat cake, but it’s all about the gesture,” Cam said as she handed him a cake


    knife.


    Connor nodded, cutting arge slice of the cake. “Here you go,” he said softly.


    “Thank you!” Cam took it eagerly and sat down. She had been craving it for a while.


    She took a bite, her eyes lit up immediately, and she eximed, “Oh my, I am a genius. This is so


    delicious”


    Connor looked at the cake and chuckled, “This cake looks a bit rough around the edges. Is it really


    that good?”


    Cam’s hands trembled, nearly dropping her piece of cake. She squeezed out a smile, looking up


    and feigning calm, “Is it that bad?” Connor crossed his arms, speaking lightly. “Maybe we shouldn’t


    get cakes from this ce next time.”


    Cam’s brow furrowed lightly as


    she t


    took another bite of the cake, her words muffled, “There won’t be a next time, just today.”


    “Why? Did they close down? Connor asked curiously.


    Cam nodded, her expression nk. “Yeah, they closed down. Cam’s Cake Shop.”


    Connor was stunned, at a loss for words. “Did you make this?” He couldn’t believe that Cam had


    made the cake herself.


    “Yeah, it is my ‘ugly‘ cake,” Cam replied nonchntly,


    Connor massaged his temples. Great, he seemed to have upset her.


    After a moment of silence, Connor finally broke the silence, “Look… I’m sorry. I take back what I


    said earlier. His brows furrowed slightly, his face full of regret.


    Cam hummed softly. “Your words are like spilled milk.”


    Connor quickly took action, cutting another slice of cake and stuffing a big spoonful into his mouth.


    He gave a thumbs up while mumbling, “Delicious, really good.”


    I


    Cam watched him eat the cake and couldn’t help butugh. “Alright, after your show of sincerity. I


    forgive you.”


    Connor’s lips curved into a proud smile as he continued enjoying the cake.


    “I mean, that’s enough. You don’t even like sweets,” Cam remarked, watching him savor it with


    relish.


    But Connor stubbornly shook his head “No way, it’s my birthday cake. How can I not eat it?” he said


    as he scooped another spoonful


    into his mouth.


    She watched his adorable demeanor and couldn’t help but smile. At this moment, he was nothing


    like his usual serious and stern self, appearing more emotional and even stubbornly childlike.


    Was this behavior the result of unlocking another personality after one too many drinks?
