Sutton

It isn’t. What about you? What are you up to this weekend?

Reese

Have nothing for the rest of today, but tomorrow, we are doing more drills.

Her eyes rounded when she realized that Monday was her birthday.

Totally forgot that one, huh?

She wasn’t surprised because she often forgot about her birthday, so she rarely celebrated it.

When she did remember it, she got a small cake and a candle and celebrated it with her favorite Chinese food from the hole-in-the-wall place not far from her apartment.

Reese

Monday should be slower, thankfully.

What are you doing Monday night?

Sutton debated telling him about her birthday because she didn’t really want anyone to make a big deal about it.

Sutton

Monday is actually my birthday.

Reese

It is?

Sutton

Yeah.

Reese

Do you have anything planned for it?

Sutton

I barely remembered it. So, no.

The dots appeared for a moment, then disappeared, then reappeared before his reply popped up.

Reese

Did you want to do anything for it?

Sutton stared at her phone.

Do I say yes?

Reese

Sutton?
