I'm sure it will be. Far better than the last two years. I've got friends, and a great place to live, and men I adore in my life, and no looming apocalypses.

I think it's going to be wonderful.

The courier arrives with a scribbled note:

Anya luv,

Happy Birthday.

May your day be filled with cheer, merriment, and very good sex.

I might be going out of town (but hopefully not leaving the dimension: do you know any anti portal charms?) so I don't know when I'll see you next. We're a bit past torture at this point, but I will keep to my part of the bargain. If I find a secret to Immortality, I'll pass it along asap.

In the meantime, may this help you count the hours.

Methos

Included is a stylish but simple white gold watch with diamonds tastefully marking where the 12, 3, 6 and 9 hands would be. There's a matching necklace and pair of earrings.

Anya squeals happily, putting watch, earrings and necklace on immediately with a grin.

She got sparklies. No one had ever gotten her sparklies besides her engagement ring and she wasn't going to think about that today.

She frowns a bit at the note, wondering what happened.

She should call. Anti-portal charms? That doesn't sound good. Nor does him leaving town.

Something happened.

She dials his cell.

He stares at the name displayed on his cell and greets her with, "Happy Birthday, you're going to yell, so why don't you call me back tomorrow and go enjoy your day?"

"You got me diamonds. I promise not to yell. What did you do?"

Her mercenary little heart is quite pleased with him. Besides, a night of amazing feel-better sex?

She vows not to yell, no matter what.

Happy birthday, Anya.

Thank you!

How have you been? Ethan and I end up fighting every time I call, but I've missed you...

I had an interesting trip.

Why do you fight?

[ooc: if you like, he has email] :)

*brightly*

Are you back, then?

*sighs*

I don't know why we fight. Why do exes ever fight? Because there was pain and anger and too much caring and no real resolution...?

ooc: she'll have to take advantage of that...she and Ethan talking just doesn't end well lately.

She's gone to work before Anya even gets up, but she leaves the packages on the kitchen table with the following note:

Happy Birthday,
I couldn't decide between the first two and figured you could never have too many. The third I just thought you'd like.
Lilah

Inside the two bigger boxes are the two things Lilah couldn't decide between and the third, smaller box is something she actually wanted for herself, but had nothing to wear it with.

Anya bounces when she opens the three boxes. She adores the purses and the brooch is amazing. She pins it on the black sweater she's wearing. It complements the simple black sweater. Being all in black allows her to grab the peacock purse with assurance as well.

A little fancy for the daytime, but it's her birthday.

She dials Lilah at work to thank her, getting voice mail.

"Lilah, it's Anya. Thank you so very much for the gifts. They are all so amazing. You shouldn't have gone to so much trouble, but I really appreciate it. Daniel wants to go out tonight after we close the shop, but we should do dinner or something later. Oh, there's a party at some club in New York this weekend, if you want to go with me."

Many happy returns of the day.

Want to go do something after work so I can give you your present? If you're not busy, that is.

*hugs him*

Thank you!

Of course, I'd love to go do something.

*hugs, kisses her cheek*

I'm sorry I don't have your present right this second, but it's in the process of being completed and it will be done by the time I see you tonight.

Don't be silly. There's no need to apologize. I don't need presents. Having you around is present enough.
