On the morning of Abby's birthday, Lee is up early and in the kitchen. While the coffee brews he's busy getting together part of Abby's present. He chuckles to himself as he uses a pastry bag to pipe mounds of chocolate frosting onto a saucer and sticks a candle into it. Placing the not!cake onto a tray along with a short handwritten note and a room key, he congratulates himself on being so clever first thing in the morning.
After the coffee's done, he fills to mugs and adds them to the tray, taking them upstairs. Careful not to disturn the lump in the bed that he knows is Abby, Lee sets the tray on the nightstand and lights the candle. Rise and shine, birthday girl... He reaches over to pull the blankets away from Abby's face.
