Saturday morning.
I know what you're thinking—yesterday was Saturday, so how can it still be Saturday morning?
Well… it's not. It's Saturday the 23rd of April, the very last week of the month.
And the last week of exams.
It went by faster than I expected, smoother than I had any right to hope for. Actually, no—better than smooth. It was great. Val made sure of it.
Somehow in between her endless teasing, her distracting kisses, her ridiculous antics and the chaos she dragged me into on a daily basis, she still found time to make sure I was prepped for every single paper. Notes highlighted, concepts drilled into my skull, practice problems shoved into my face when I was ready to zone out. She had me ready every time. And the results? Way better than if I'd done it on my own.
That was Val—chaotic and steady at the same time. A storm that somehow carried you safely to shore.
But now exams were behind us. And today was different.
Today was her birthday.
