"I wish for your smile to sparkle and light up the whole world even as you grow older. Happy birthday, Joan," Joanna read the message that appeared on the screen after the earlier video ended.
"No matter what anyone says, this is undoubtedly the best gift I have ever received. Even if I don't remember it forever, I know I will recall this moment for a very long time," Joanna muttered. She guided her hands to her face and wiped the tears that had dropped from her eyes.
Just then the television went off and the lights in the room came on and standing at the stairs at her right-hand side was Kayden.
The first thing she noticed was his clothes. Instead of the royal regalia he wore earlier, he was now wearing a grey long-sleeve shirt and brown trousers.
At the moment he looked very much like the Kayden she knew.
