Olivia Armstrong didn't say anything, but she noticed everything.
At first.
Olivia also thought that Isla Astir had forgotten William Astir's birthday.
Young people.
With lots of things to do, forgetting is pretty normal, and that's understandable.
Olivia was about to discuss with William Astir that perhaps they could skip celebrating his birthday this year as if they had forgotten it too.
Unexpectedly.
Isla Astir hadn't forgotten; she was secretly preparing a surprise.
This daughter was really thoughtful.
Whether it was her own birthday or William Astir's birthday, Isla Astir always remembered them very clearly.
Hearing this, Isla Astir smiled and said, "I also prepared a surprise for Dad."
"What surprise?" Olivia asked curiously.
With a mysterious look, Isla Astir said, "Since it's a surprise, of course, I can't tell you. Just wait a little longer, and you'll find out soon."
Olivia objected, "What kind of surprise needs to be kept from me?"
