Oh, she'd love to see that expression, the way it brightens at the sight of her text. Or, well, her, mostly. But she doesn't see you. Not yet.

But when you look her direction, she notices you the moment your hand starts to wave and smiles brightly, wiggling the fingers holding her phone and hopping down from the bench to head your way.

You offer a hand and she slips her phone into the beach bag before carefully switching it over to the other arm without dropping the bag of cherries.

Not particularly, but... happy birthday!

Offered in a sing-song voice before lifting the gift bag up. It's a kraft paper bag, but the present is wrapped inside, so even if you peek, you can't see.

You don't need to open that now though.

In other words, wait until later.

You sweep her up into a hug and she lifts her feet a little, wrapping her free arm around behind your neck and being much more careful with the one holding the still open bag of cherries.

Good.

You linger as if unsure what comes next and she lifts to her toes and grazes her lips against yours briefly, up from beneath.

Did she do all this for your birthday?

Or is this whole thing not all completely related? Quietly asked as you lead her over toward Holly Blanc. Who seems... nervous? But she smiles easily at the other woman.

When you tell her she's taller than you expected, she quirks a grin, but with a confused flicker of her brows.

I'm curious how tall you thought I'd be.

Phrased like a question, sort of. Because, she's not sure why you would've even had a guess how tall she was. But she's only a few inches taller than you.

No. Thank you though.

I had to look it up too. I haven't seen one of those in over a decade.

He'd had the record label car bring him to the beach. A couple of drinks after doing his interview with Freya earlier had left him in a questionable state for driving, but finding the invite in his office mailbox did grab his attention. Mostly he thought it was Holly Blanc trying to coax him from his drug and booze fueled self-isolation at needs a good deep cleaning Bode manor.

He did stop back at his place first to change into the proper beach gear, plus grab some things he'd need for the beach. So he's decked out in a smart ass t-shirt, long board shorts, with a duffle bag slung over his shoulder.

So the tall, lanky mid-40s rock star and record executive comes wandering up. Just kind of following the noise and people.
