Later in the day, I sat in my room, scrolling absentmindedly through my phone when a notification popped up.
Ethan: Happy birthday again. I was wondering if you'd let me take you out to celebrate? Just a simple outing. No pressure.
I blinked at the message, rereading it twice. Before I could type a response, Favour leaned over my shoulder, her sharp eyes catching the text.
"Ohhh, what's this? Ethan wants to take you out?"
Gift, who had been lying on my bed, immediately sat up. "Who? Ethan? The same Ethan who got you that cute bracelet?"
I sighed. "Yes, that Ethan."
Favour wiggled her eyebrows. "And? What are you waiting for? Say yes."
"I don't know..." I hesitated. "I wasn't really planning anything big today."
Gift rolled her eyes. "Girl, you're not rejecting free food, are you?"
