Best Birthday Ever!!

Summary:

It's Thomas Barrow's 38th birthday and the house is buzzing with activity.

But how will the day turn out once a certain someone comes to visit, "by random chance", supposedly?

Notes:

So, this is the sequel to my other story, Re-formed - reading it isn't a requirement, but I strongly suggest it to understand some of the references in later chapters. Enjoy!

I got the dates of August 4th and 5th from the fan page for Thomas Barrow. (I think it may have been updated since then and the dates removed - it looked like that last time I checked.)

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

August 4th

1928

10:30 p.m.

 

‘I can’t believe that it’s tomorrow’, Barrow said, ‘I’m turning 38. Where do the years go?’

‘I honestly don’t know’, Phyllis said, ‘It feels as if it was only yesterday that you were in your first year of school.’

‘Yeah’, Barrow said, ‘Time flies so fast, doesn’t it?’

‘Exactly’, Phyllis said while looking out into the now-empty kitchen, ‘Anyway, it seems everyone has retired for the night.’

‘Come to think of it’, Barrow said while glancing at his pocket watch, ‘It’s getting late; we should probably make our way up to bed.’

‘I agree’, Phyllis said as they made their way out of the kitchen and upstairs, ‘Goodnight, Thomas. We’ve got a big day tomorrow.’

‘Indeed’, Barrow said before they went their separate ways, ‘See you in the morning.’
