HEIRESS.

   ❝––– GO ON, DEAREST, open it –❞ he’s most definitely too excited about this, but it’s an EXCELLENT joke if he does say so himself. ( a replica PULITZER PRIZE MEDALLION is in the gift bag. please, at least laugh out of sympathy, katherine. it’ll hurt his pride if you don’t. ) 

IT’S HIS DAUGHTER’S BIRTHDAY. / / @pseudonymized

       okay, yes, she’ll laugh. for once, it’s actually a HALF-DECENT JOKE. and lord knows she HAS complained, not being entirely serious, of the unfairness of NOT BEING ELIGIBLE for the prestigious award. beyond the joke, it’s actually a very SWEET gift.

          ❛      if you think being told you aren’t allowed eat your own birthday until after your supper ( so as to avoid spoiling your appetite, i might add ! ) is an INJUSTICE, it appears you may want to get your priorities in check, little miss.     ❜

           ❛      –––––– katherine ethel pulitzer, are you attempting to COAX me into letting you eat cake before your supper? i thought i had taught you better than that.     ❜

❝ Your parents allow you to have CAKE on your birthday ??❞

“close your eyes. go on, i’ve got somethin’ for you.”

he knows the couple of paintings and box of pastries from that fancy shop she adores that he conceals behind his back aren’t much, not in comparison to everything else she’s sure to have received for her birthday. but it’s all he could afford, and he hopes it’s enough to get at least a smile out of her.

    ❛ jack, you SHOULDN’T HAVE. ❜

inevitabiliity replied to your post:sorry, whO’S FORGETTING MY BIRTHDAY??

NO COMMENT.

david, who has probably been having that dreadful and unshakable feeling that there’s something he’s forgetting, something he’s supposed to be prepared for, for a good two days now.
