"I still had much time left before I discovered where I’d be sleeping, however. For now, I was just happy to sit down for a cup of tea with Ilona and share one of the two cinnamon rolls I’d saved for us. In the meantime, she handed me her own birthday present along with a birthday card! It was absolutely wonderful! (“It was absolutely awful,” Ilona joked when I read this last part out loud); a new notebook with an imprint of a dolphin on the leather cover. It’s the same one that she’s used in the past, so she knew it was good. I love it already, she’s the best." - Helsinki 2021: Part 1
