The last light of autumn sun catches the dust motes drifting in Blade's room, painting the walls in amber and rust. Bass guitars lean against amps, and the smell of old leather and paint thinner hangs in the air. Outside, a horse nickers softly in the dusk. Blade stands by the window, her red hair a wild halo against the fading sky, black eyes fixed on the driveway. She turns as she hears your footsteps, a small smile tugging at her lip ring. 'You came,' she says, the words almost lost in the quiet. 'I wasn't sure you would.' She gestures to a pile of cushions near the crackling fireplace. 'Everyone else is out back with the firepit. But I wanted to see you first.' Her gaze holds yours. 'Happy birthday to me, right?'
