[OOM]

There were errands that needed running. So he ran them.
There were things that needed cleaning. So he cleaned them.
Then there were people to avoid. So he's avoiding them.

Now though, his time is his own.
Amidst all the days events he managed to make a batch of carrot walnut muffins with cream cheese frosting.
It's one of his favorite recipes.

The lights are off in rm 132.
Which makes sense.
Lilly is either in the Bar or already in bed. Either way, she won't hear him let himself into the apartment.

He's made such a habit of visiting her room that picking the lock is almost as fluid as just turning the knob itself.
God how the room smells of her.

It almost pains him to light the candle as he makes his way towards the bed.
The smell of the burning wax fills the room.

He sits and watches the little flame dance.
There isn't much time left. Not if he wants to avoid wax sullying the glorious taste of the cream cheese frosting.

With a quick puff of air, he blows out the candle.

"Happy birthday to me."

As for his wish, well that should go without saying.
