1447 Mitchell Road porch
[Hilda is sitting out on the banister of the porch, watching Mayfield and eating a piece of cake she bought at the bakery--chocolate with strawberries on top. She's seventeen now, so that means--well, that she's missed her birthday on the 18th of September. It wasn't until she glanced at a calendar and saw it was October

[Coming in from doing whatever he was doing in the garage and yard. . .he's a bit dirty, some smudges here and there.]

Cake.

. . . looks good.

[backinblackcity]

Chocolate's my favorite. Do you want some?

[She only has the one piece, but she's willing to share.]

[gezellighe]

[Shaking his head. . .]

It's yours, right? But sweets are always good.

[backinblackcity]

I don't mind sharing.

[gezellighe]

If you felt like eating cake, we could have made some.

[backinblackcity]

I wouldn't want to bother you guys. It was last month anyway.

[gezellighe]

. . . what was last month. . .

[backinblackcity]

Oh, my birthday. It was during the zombie attack, so it wasn't really the first thing on my mind.

[gezellighe]

We missed your birthday?

[He'll put his cigarette out.]

Should've at least made you a cake.

[backinblackcity]

Not during a zombie attack.

[gezellighe]

[Good point, notdaughter.]

Well, we could make one now.
