No One Shows Up to Old Woman’s Birthday Except a Courier with a Cake That Reads, ‘We Know What You Did’ – Story of the Day
Dorothy moved slowly through her cozy kitchen, adjusting her glasses and glancing at the calendar. Today was her birthday, and though she celebrated alone, she felt a quiet hope bloom inside her. She cooked, filling the kitchen with comforting smells, remembering when her children used to smile at her dishes.
After setting the table, Dorothy placed a pie at the center, imagining her children enjoying it. But when she looked at an old photo, memories of lost love flooded her, reminding her of a past she tried to forget.
As evening fell, she waited anxiously for Miley and Ryan, but they never arrived. Worried, she called them, but received no answer. Then, a courier arrived with a box—inside was a cake and a chilling message: “We Know What You Did.” Dorothy’s heart raced as old fears resurfaced.
Rushing to Miley’s house, Dorothy found her neighbor, Sharon, who revealed that Miley and Ryan had gone to the lake—the place from their childhood. Dorothy’s heart sank as memories turned to pain.
At the lake, Dorothy found Robert, her long-absent husband, who admitted his departure had been his choice. The children had been told he disappeared, but he had left them to escape his own fears. The truth shattered Dorothy, but Robert revealed his regret, and the children finally understood.
In the end, Dorothy embraced her children, forgiving them and herself. The family, broken but healing, shared a moment of peace. Dorothy’s birthday, painful but beautiful, marked the start of a new chapter filled with forgiveness and second chances.
