Kathleen Winfred

The next morning, I lay in bed for a few moments before getting up. I simply stared at the ceiling and relived my birthday, still feeling overwhelmingly happy.

I sighed, and got out of bed, preparing for my day, accepting the fact that everything was now back to normal.

Pirot came back to the door, her hair still wet. I remembered that it was her day to shower. She smiled. "Happy day after your birthday, Ilsa," she said, grinning.

I smiled back, feeling warm and happy all over again.

"Thank you for the party, Pirot," I said. "I realize that I didn't get a chance to say thank you yesterday."

Pirot smiled, taking her towel and beginning to dry her hair. "I'm glad you had a good birthday."

I frowned, for a moment, suddenly thinking of something. I looked up at Pirot, slowly. "Not that it matters but..." I paused, shrugging. "I don't remember telling you when my birthday was."

"You didn't," she said, winking. "But I have my sources."
