Chapter 11

• My birthday was a month later, and I was not a big fan of birthdays. I'm not getting older or anything, but I didn't care for all the hoopla that went along with it, including the singing and the cake that everyone was familiar with. Ugh, it looked like today was going to be a bad day. I was about to get out of bed when Henry wrapped his arms around me even tighter, yanking me back into his embrace.
• A small rectangular present was presented to me by him over the side of the bed after chirping "Happy Birthday Samantha Bear." I smiled as he reached over the side of the bed to give me the gift.
• Seeing his wide-eyed expression, I walked over to him and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you Henry, but you shouldn't have bought me anything," I said, accepting the gift.
