Chapter 41 Micah's Birthday

• Micah’s POV
• I stand in front of the mirror, holding the silky strip of fabric in my hands like it's an alien artifact. The tie, a seemingly simple accessory, has become my nemesis this morning. I pull one end tighter, trying to mimic the tutorial I half-heartedly watched earlier.
• My reflection betrays me, showing a skewed and lopsided knot that looks more like modern art gone wrong than a professional tie.
