Oh, has it?

[matt-delancy]

Quite a bit, I’m afraid. Or, at least there are a number of faces I deem not to be familiar.

You’re welcome. I don’t believe we’ve met before, have we?

[lisianthuskat-blog]

Possibly not. You just returned from a bit of a leave, right?

[matt-delancy]

"Precisely. I wasn't away for too long, but it seemed like a lot has changed in my absence..."

Savannah’s Birthday || Open

[ellenaxmorales-deactivated20160]

“Hey, as her mother, I would rather her call you pretty than sexy. Besides, what’s wrong with being pretty? She calls me pretty all the time.” She grabbed her own beer from the counter-top and took a swig from it. “You would think that, but with all the candy and cake and basically just sugar she’s been eating all day, it’s going to take a while for me to get her down tonight. I’m still hopeful though.” She giggled and smirked a bit when Savannah ran through the kitchen, stopping at the door to the backyard and taking a double take. When she saw Matt, she ran over and hugged his leg. “Hi boyfriend! It’s my birthday!” Ellena laughed slightly and took another swig from her beer.

“I wasn’t planning on teaching her that,” Matt said with a shake of his head. “But, you know, handsome is game,” he mentioned with a shrug of his broad shoulders. “And, some might even say charming,” the man stated while running a hand through his hair, adding it as a playful remark. “This is why being an uncle is so much easier. You see them at their best, and if they start misbehaving, you hand them back to their parents. Matt saw the little one running towards him and as she held onto his leg he bent down to pick her up. “Oh, I know that. It’s the reason why I came.” he told her with a smile. “I just… I didn’t get you a present, can you forgive me?” he questioned the little girl.

Savannah’s Birthday || Open

“I’m sure she won’t hold it against you. You are her ‘pretty boyfriend’ anyway.” Ella teased and giggled, leading him into the kitchen and opening the fridge to grab a beer for him. She handed it over and glanced around for a moment. “Birthday girl is around here somewhere. Probably running around with her friends. Some familiar faces will be here. Some people from work as well as my family, obviously and some of my friends. Why? Is there someone you’re trying to avoid?”

[matt-delancy]

“I think it’s time to teach her some other adjectives... Pretty does not fit me all that well,” he shook his head at the statement, though there was humor to it. He followed her around to the kitchen and took the bottle of beer she was offering him, opening it up and taking a sip from it. “Well, I’m not someone to interrupt something like that,” he shook his head at it. “Besides, I suppose the fact that she’s wasting some of that energy should be good for you on the long run, isn’t it? Nah, just curious to see who I might be expecting to see, really.”

Savannah’s Birthday || Open

Ellena was more than happy to see that Matt was back. She knew he had gone somewhere, but she didn’t know where or why. She hadn’t even heard he was back, but that was mainly because she was swamped with work and Savannah and her birthday. “It’s nice to see you’re back in town. Come in, come in.” She stepped to the side, letting him in and closing the door behind him. “No birthday present huh? You know, I wouldn’t be too torn up about it, but it’s not my birthday. You’ll have to take that up with birthday girl.” She teased. “Do you want a drink? Aside from juice boxes, we have soda and beer.”

[matt-delancy]

“It’s nice to be back,” Matt agreed with the woman in front of him, stepping inside her home. “Yeah, I must say I didn’t quite have the time to stop by and get her something, so, I’ll probably make up for it later,” the man spoke with a shrug of his broad shoulders. “But, yeah, I’m gonna talk to her about it and hope she finds compassion in her little heart to, you know, let it slide.” he mentioned with a bit of a smile. “I’ll take a beer. Where’s the birthday girl? And, who might I be expecting to see around here? You know, at the party?” he asked while glancing around the place and seeing all the children going around.

Savannah’s Birthday || Open

A few people had already showed up; a few of her friends, their kids and her family. Savannah was already having tons of fun and as long as her daughter was happy, then Ella was happy. There was a knock on the front door and Ellena made her way over, weaving her way throwing kids running around the house. She opened the door and smiled brightly. “Hey! I’m glad you could make it.”

[matt-delancy]

Matt offered her a smile as she opened the door. He had been out of town for a bit and just returned to hearing it was her daughter’s birthday. He was not the kind to be particularly bothered by the fact the brunette probably didn’t even know he was back yet. “Hey there,” he said with a smile. “I heard there was a celebration going on around here and, it felt like I just had to come over. I wish I could say I come bearing gifts, but, I honestly don’t,” he showed her his palms. “Would that be a problem?”

[matt-delancy]

“I was away to shoot a commercial and they kept clicking one of those things on my face every so often. Needless to say it didn’t work out too well.”

Both if possible.

[annabellebanks]

Well what kind of stuff does she like? 

[matt-delancy]

We’re both more discrete kind of people, so, something laid back and... I don’t know, cute, perhaps, rather than, I don’t know, bam. Know the Kardarshians? Think along the lines of something they would never do and this is probably more us.

I’m speaking at a conference in February for deaf women. Other than that, I’ve just been working. How are you and Hannah?

[matt-delancy]

Oh, that sounds cool, congrats! Hannah and I are fine; which reminds me I may need your help with Valentine’s stuff…

[annabellebanks]

Yeah I’m excited, and nervous - but mainly excited! Good I’m glad to hear that! Sure whatever you need, I’m here to help.

[matt-delancy]

Well, that’s a good thing! I’m certain you will do great! Okay, thanks! I’m taking suggestions!

Do you need suggestions for a date or a present?

[matt-delancy]

Both if possible.
