A Happy Birthday with scienceinblack

[melodiousyellow]

Birthday breakfast with Mom? Check. Cussing out Conner? Check. Hayley's would be the logical next stop, but instead she found herself driving down Valencia Road to see Dr. Oliver.

He was the only one she hadn't called ahead to let him know she'd be home, and hopeful no one had told him. She wanted it to be a surprise visit. He'd known her birthday was coming up, but the last time they'd talked she hadn't been expecting to be back. That had changed, of course, but the element of surprise would be fun. Not like she's going in without knocking.

She got out of her car and took a big breath of fresh air before heading to the door. It was so good to be back here again.

She just smiled right back. Her hand had never left his arm and wasn't about to. It was at this moment that she remembered just how crazy she'd always been about him. It wasn't as extreme as it had been in her teenage years, but it was still there. She still felt that warmth that made her heart bubble over with joy, but it was more calm than it had been then. More mature, really.

She knew he could probably see it, because she'd always felt like his eyes could see anything. Years before she would have been afraid of it, but not so much anymore. He wouldn't judge her for it.
