Birthday Surprises | Sara and Pete
*Taken aback by Sara’s appearance, but Pete doesn’t use a moment to stall. He hands the flowers closer to her, keeping the cake mix box close to his side as he does so* The Pete’s here for your birthday! The Pete’s special lady’s gotta have the best birthday! I brought you flowers! And cake mix! You uh… like cake, right? It’s the kind that looks like it has confetti inside.
*stares at him blankly, uncomprehending*
My... my birthday?
*turns around, staring hard at the calendar on the far wall*
Are you... it’s already April? Crap.
*turns around, smiling as she scratches at her head, simultaneously trying to smooth it down*
Aw shucks, Pete, I done forgot! Thank ya, I’m really--
Cake mix? *her smiles falters* Aw. Ya shouldn’t have.
