#42 Blueberry Hill, Sunday

[snarky_witch]

Today was Piper's birthday, and she meant it when she said she wasn't going to make a big deal out of it. But it was her day, so she wasn't going to do any work today. No looking over paperwork for the restaurant, no cooking, no cleaning. She was just going to relax and try very hard not to think about anything distressing

Meg stopped by to see Piper after her shift at the Leaf.

She knocked on her door.

Piper smiled when she opened the door. "Hi Meg."

"Happy birthday, Piper," Meg said, extending the flowers she'd bought for her on the way over.

"Awww, Meg. Thank you," Piper said sincerely, taking the flowers from her. "That was nice of you."

She leaned over so she could hug Meg.

It was entirely possible Lindsey was making a mistake here. It was entirely possible that Piper had no interest in seeing her deadbeat ex-boyfriend at her door on her birthday. It was entirely possible she was going to find it creepy or something that he'd remembered her birthday. It was entirely possible that she was going to blow him up.

And yet here Lindsey was, outside Piper's place, hesitating with his fist a few inches from the door for a long time before knocking. He did knock eventually. And then took two quick steps back so he could flee if necessary.

Maybe he should have just called. Sent a card. Or an email.

Piper went over to answer the door, not really expecting anyone else. She blinked for a moment when she opened the door. "Lindsey? You're at my house..."

She didn't say it like it was a bad thing. She was just really surprised.

Lindsey quickly backed up another step.

"I am. I just...uh...I was...I can go."

"No, you don't have to go," Piper said quickly. She didn't actually want him to. "But, um, what are you doing here?"
