52 Birthdays With Lou

age: 53

When Harry turns fifty-three, he and Louis fly to America to visit Michelle who's studying biochemical engineering at Stanford.

Harry can't tell you what it is, or what it's for, but he can say that he's never been prouder in his life, listening to Michelle blabber on about things he can't understand for the life of him.

"Do you regret not going to University Daddy?" She asks him and Harry shrugs, glancing at Louis who pulls a face.

"Now that you're in University, I can say no," He decides and Michelle laughs over her tea, in the small café she dragged her father to. "But I'm proud of you darling."

His daughter blushes sheepishly and Louis laughs, reaching out and tousling her hair, until she groans and squirms away.

Harry orders a small brownie from the café, and Louis shoves a toothpick into it, lighting it with his lighter, despite Michelle's cries of protests and Harry laughs.

He wishes for Michelle to have few regrets in her life, and then attempts to blow out the flame, unsuccessfully until Louis pours his tea of the it, ruining the brownie but saving the café from burning to the ground.
