Her phone buzzed incessantly with messages from a lively group chat discussing Sarah and Tyler's upcoming birthdays.

Both coincidentally fell on the same day; tomorrow.

Betsy and Marge were in high spirits, exchanging jokes and weaving whimsical plans for the celebration.

They even flirted with the idea of an island getaway with a dazzling pool party, graced by a gathering of dashing gentlemen and beautiful ladies.

Sarah boasted shamelessly, proclaiming she would spare no expense for their extravagant endeavors.

Ariana playfully teased her, suggesting that a pool party could annoy her boyfriend to no end.

Marge and Betsy found it amusing, further fueling Sarah's bravado.

Amidst the laughter, Ariana's attention shifted to her phone's date display, reminding her of an upcoming event.

She exited the group chat and opened her calendar and confirmed the approaching birthday of Theodore, only a week away.

Lost in contemplation, she racked her brain for a unique and extraordinary gift for him.

Watches and conventional presents seemed inadequate for someone as exceptional as Theodore.

She yearned to surprise him with something truly special, something that would resonate with his distinct tastes.

Ariana was thinking so deeply about Theodore that she began to miss him.

Longing to see him, to feel his warm embrace and soft kisses, she set off to find Theodore in his study.

But when she got there, he wasn't there. The lights were on, and his desk was a mess, with papers all over and some even on the floor.

“Does he have all this to do?" Ariana mumbled to herself in bewilderment. On second thought, she remembered that the Anderson family was falling apart and Theodore was probably hatching a plan to fix things.

Ariana felt a twinge of compassion for him and considered clearing his desk for him. She noticed two mobile phones on the desk as she approached it.

Both were black in color, but one had the bunny phone charm she had given hin.

Knowing that most people had two phones, one for work and one for personal use, Ariana didn't think much about it.

She had finished quickly cleaning the desk and was getting ready to go when one phone rang.
