And O'Brien was hugging her now. Not that she was complaining. She liked hugs. Especially on birthdays. She brought her arms up to return it, wrapping them around him and squeezing just as tight as he was.
She loosed her grip when he pulled back to look around with her.
A flush came over her when Luke gave all the baking credit to her. She started to say something to the contrary, but stopped herself. Even though their relationship had gotten off to an unsure start, Taisce was finally starting to feel like Luke really liked her. It was nice. She thought he was a really good guy. This just proved that in her eyes just a little more.
But she decided that it would eat at her more to keep quiet. "I had a lot of help," she focused her attention on Luke and shook her head slightly. "I really can't bake."
The gesture was appreciated but she didn't want to lead O'Brien into thinking she was some baking marvel and selling herself short. If Luke hadn't been there to help out. Well, there probably wouldn't have been a kitchen left and dinner would be worse than usual. Yeah, she didn't want that.
She contemplated telling O'Brien that they were expecting Ellie at some point. But she figured that it'd add to the surprises of the day, so she kept quiet.
She pulled her arm from around O'Brien's back, made her way over to the cookie-cake, and started to light the candles. He had to blow them out and make a wish! It was birthday tradition. Once the candles were lit, she looked to Luke to begin singing "Happy Birthday". The more out of tune, the better.
