My eyes slowly open upon the sound of a band of thrashers singing their morning song. While rubbing the morning crust from eyes, I notice a beautiful brown leather watch inside of a box titled “Unlisted” standing on my nightstand.
The texture of the watch was so smooth that it reminded me of a newborn’s skin. The silver lining was so luminous that I could see my reflection – it was the epitome of excellence.
Positioned to the right of the watch was a red card with a plethora of hearts along with elegant handwriting that stated, “Happy birthday Caleb!! You’re my everything, and all that I could ever ask for, I hope that you enjoy your gift! Love, Sydney.”
My phone began erupting with notifications of happy birthday texts. Although I was extremely flattered by everyone’s kindness, the only thing that I was focused on was the gift given to me by the girl who I had been in love with all throughout my entire childhood. It soon became quite evident that today wasn’t your typical January day.
