There is a book wrapped in plain brown paper. On the paper is handwritten quotes. The largest on the front is "there's no friend so loyal as a book." And other Ernest quotes. On the back is written "True friends stab you in the front---Oscar Wilde.
There's also a small cake just big enough for two people. Tucked inside the book is a note.
I wanted to give you your birthday present early so you could enjoy the actual day. I'm still your friend and I'm still here for you, but only if you want me to be.
The cake is meant for you to share with Charlie so don't be afraid to eat it.
