Mauvaise Chance, Apt. #6, early evening

[susanofnarnia]

Susan was tasting the spaghetti sauce and looking badly perplexed. Something was just... off.

A few wrapped packages on the table, and foil balloons tied to a chair, might have indicated the occasion for her to attempt to cook.

An expected guest might have found the packages more promising than the dinner.

Just after the appointed time, Peter tapped on the door to Susan's apartment.

"Oh, blast," Susan muttered, then wiped her hands off and went to the door, face brightening immediately as she opened the door, leaning forward to kiss her brother's cheek. "Happy Birthday, Peter!"

"Thank you, Su," Peter replied, kissing her back then handing her the flowers he'd brought. "Thank you for having me."

"Of course! It's your birthday, you don't turn seventeen every day." Her brow furrowed as she let him in, and she cleared her throat, taking the flowers and leading him into the kitchen. "I was just putting the finishing touches on the sauce."
