Dorothy anxiously prepared dinner and cake for her birthday, eagerly awaiting her children, Miley and Ryan. As she moved through her cozy kitchen, memories of happier times filled her heart. But when the doorbell finally rang, it was a courier delivering a cake with a chilling message: “We Know What You Did.” The past she had buried was now haunting her.
As evening fell, Dorothy set the table with care, hoping for a joyful reunion. But as the hours passed and her children didn’t arrive, worry crept in. After several unanswered calls, she was startled by the doorbell. Expecting her kids, she instead found a courier with a cake from Miley, but the message shattered her hopes and sent her racing to Miley’s house, desperate for answers.
When she arrived, she learned from Miley’s neighbor that her children had gone to the lake, a place filled with bittersweet memories. Dorothy’s heart raced as she drove there, fearing the worst. Upon reaching the old gazebo, she found Robert, her estranged husband, who revealed that their children had called him for answers about their past. The confrontation that followed forced long-buried truths to surface, revealing that Robert had left the family, not Dorothy.
In a moment of raw honesty, Robert took responsibility for his actions, and the siblings began to understand their mother’s sacrifices. As they embraced, Dorothy felt a sense of healing wash over them. They realized that while the past could not be changed, they could choose to forgive and rebuild their family. This birthday, though painful, became a turning point, filled with the promise of love and second chances.
