Today was meant to be joyful, but Remy sat by the window, his soft eyes clouded with a longing that felt heavier than usual. He glanced around, hoping for any sign of celebration, a ribbon, a cake, or even a whisper of the magic that usually filled the air on a birthday. Yet, silence wrapped around him like a quiet fog.
“Where is everyone?” he wondered, his tail lying still.
Suddenly, the door creaked open, and in bounced Roger, his best buddy, with a burst of colorful confetti on his fur. Behind him, Sem, Nar, and Neo bounded in, each carrying small treats and toys, their tails wagging with excitement. They surrounded Remy, showering him with joyful barks and playful nudges, each pup offering their love and well-wishes.
As the room filled with laughter and joy, Remy’s heart swelled with warmth. His birthday might have started lonely, but with friends like these, it ended with the best gift of all—belonging.
