Fred didn't know about any birthdays. Funny thing, she hadn't celebrated a one since she'd been in the City; at least not with other people, and she'd probably keep such celebrations to herself. That was how it had worked in Pylea, and how it had worked for the short time she was with Angel and company. So, it was not with birthday surprises that she went into the shop. She was there to check on Errol.
She nearly walked right back out when she saw that there were people there with flowers and such. It felt like she was intruding, and she really wasn't in the mood to intrude. She wasn't sure she was in the mood to talk to anyone who knew her current emotional situation either.
The brainy Texan didn't walk out; she just stepped to the side and started looking at the books closest to the door.
