"Hey, guys! Sorry to interrupt, but something came up, so Janet and I have to leave at once," Andrew said with an easy smile, not wanting to ruin Desmond's party.
Desmond and Evelyn stood up and went to him, "You don't have to butter it up nicely, Tom told us about it already, and I'm sorry to see you leave," Desmond said, with worry lines between his brow.
"Yeah, me too. I was looking forward to letting you win a game tonight as my birthday gift to you," Andrew said with a grin, and Desmond laughed despite himself.
"I'm going to really miss you. Hopefully, we'll see more of each other when we get back," Desmond said since they live in the same city.
"Yeah, we definitely will. Happy birthday," Andrew said before moving his gaze to Evelyn.
