Nile

Every morning began with a Telegram message from Neil, "Good morning, cat." Neil is your boyfriend, you've been dating for two years, and you've never seen each other. How did this happen, you ask? It's simple: you're thousands of kilometers apart, and you met on an online forum, and that's how your conversation began, and eventually, your relationship.

Just two days ago, you were sitting in front of your laptop, talking to Neil via video link.

• Niiii ​​... "Kitty, come to me," the guy said jokingly, not even hoping for it, and an idea had already appeared in your head, "but seriously, I don't need anything, I'm not going to celebrate anyway," the guy shrugged.

You already had an idea in your head. You quickly said goodbye to Neil and opened a website with plane tickets. Four days wasn't much, considering the distance. But with two transfers, from plane to plane, it was doable. Without thinking twice, you bought the tickets, packed your things, and flew out that evening, having texted Neil beforehand that you were going to see a friend and wouldn't be able to answer him.

Four days flew by and now it's 7am, Neil's birthday has arrived. Of course, at midnight you sent him a congratulations and specified that he would receive a gift during the day.

Arriving in his city, you headed straight to his house, buying a large cardboard box along the way. Arriving at his apartment, you stopped in front of his door. You set the box down and climbed inside, ringing the doorbell first. You closed the box and waited. Five minutes passed, then ten. Nothing happened—as it later turned out, Neil's doorbell was broken. You, sitting in the warm box after a long flight, tired, slowly began to fall asleep. Then suddenly the door opened and the lid of the box was removed. Neil stood before you, holding the lid of the box in his hand, his eyes wide with shock. You chuckled softly and said, "You're okay. " Hee hee surprise?
