Charlie sat at his desk among a dozen balloons from Don, that danced merrily around his head. He smiled to himself and enjoyed the sight of them.
“Hello?” He asked, opening his cell phone.
“Hi, Charlie, it’s Terry.”
“Hey, how’s it going?” Charlie asked as he smiled into his cell phone.
“Well, thanks for asking. How about you? How are you doing? And how’s Don? How about your dad and David?” Terry asked quickly, not waiting for a response.
“I’m great, and as for everyone else, they’re also great.”
“That’s good news,” She paused, “Uh, Charlie, listen, I’m sorry I didn’t call sooner to thank you.”
“Nah, no worries, it was my pleasure to help you.” Charlie replied. "‘Besides, you’ve had your hands full.”
“Yeah, well it’s no excuse, I still should’ve called to thank you sooner than two months later.” Terry questioned, “He was surprised?”
Charlie laughed, “Yeah, he was. He had no idea how you pulled it off but it was just the pick me up he needed.”
“Good, that’s excellent to hear.”
“Again it was no problem, and come to think of it, Don chewed the last pack earlier this week.” Charlie settled into his chair. “By the way, how is Ms. Precious doing?”
Terry let out a small laugh, “Ms. Precious is fine, thanks for asking. She can hold up her head all by herself now.”
“Aww that’s wonderful news.” Charlie’s lips curved into a smile as he requested with some mischief in his voice, “Do me a favor, make sure you send new photos of Claire to my dad when you can?”
Amused, she replied “I sure will, and of course you aren’t asking me to send pictures of my darling daughter to use as ammo against your brother with your dad, are you?”
“Who, me?” Charlie’s voice sounded innocent. “I would never use a sweet baby that way. I just know Dad enjoys the photos.”
“Uh huh. Well, again thanks for your help for setting up the gum gag for me. I really appreciate it.”
“You’re welcome again. I was glad to do it.”
“Better let me go I hear Claire fussing for her lunch.”
Charlie said, “Sure, take care, Terry.”
“Give your brother my best?”
“Will do.” He answered easily.
“And Charlie?”
“Yeah?”
“Happy Birthday to you too.”
