“Happy birthday, Xander.

Grace quickly got up and walked to the desk. Clearing away the previous gloom, she lifted the birthday
cake as though she were presenting a treasure to Xander.
“I made this cake, Xander. Make sure to finish it.”
Smiling, Xander looked at her and replied, “Okay.”
Grace opened the cake and put some candles on it. After she lit them with a lighter, she sang softly,
“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you…

wish. When he opened his eyes, she was standing in front of him.

Hestia’s voice came through the phone, and her joy was evident.
“Thank you,
you, Mom.”
Hestia smiled. “This year, you have Gracie accompanying you, so your dad and I won’t come to join in
the fun.
“I’ve booked a restaurant for you two tonight. I’ll send you the location. Remember to take Gracie with
you.”
After speaking, she didn’t give Xander a chance to talk and hung up the phone right away.
Soon after, she sent the location to Xander.
