She said she got calls from her mom and sister, but they hadn’t been able to visit because of work.
As you can imagine, that was fucking unacceptable to us.
So, we went big for it.
The girls and the guys alike.
Riff and Raff even insisted on coming back to town earlier than expected when they’d heard about it.
It had been a whole-day-long event.
Multiple meals.
Gifts.
Drinking, partying, birthday cake, making wishes.
The whole thing.
And while her sister couldn’t make it, since she had the baby and both of them had a cold, and her mom was helping take care of the two of them, they’d video-called to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ too.
Della also paid a visit.
As did Gav.
Everyone who was important in her life was there.
But, clearly, she was about full-up on birthday festivities.

“Edge of the bed works,” I said, smiling as I went into the closet to grab two things. One envelope and a box.
“A card?” she asked, smiling as she slid her finger under the flap, then pulling out the card.
Blank.
Save for the tickets inside of it.
It was worth the headache and every penny of getting them when I saw her eyes go huge, then her lips part.
“No way,” she said as her shocked gaze slid to me.
“Yes, way.”
“You got Taylor Swift tickets?” she asked, needing confirmation.
