all things considered, it's been an eerily quiet morning. ahmya and carletta have been left to their peace a whole two hours past dawn (more time than can be said for previous years). well. alma hopes they've enjoyed it, because it takes no time at all past 8am for a knock to come at their door. " I'M COMING IN ! " then comes a shuffling, then a plunk― " agh― hold on ! " subsequent clicking, sighing, before he enters the room with a beaming smile. in their hands is a homemade cake with two sparkling candles. the presents will come after. " happy birthday @viteoublies ! "
