Oh no. Elliot shook her head. "No, no, it only happened once. I mean my parents forgot my birthday last year but it's really no big deal," she spat it out all at once and very quickly, rolling her eyes and trying to sound casual.
But it HAD been a big deal...at the time. "Not worried about them...just wanting to know what the heck is going on with them. And I asked if you could come over sometimes over the holidays," she added, as an afterthought. Though, when she had written the letter, they hadn't been...'official' yet...hm...
Maxwell caught the grin and smiled back. "Anytime...you looked cold.." He said not moving his arm from where it was, he was determined to keep her from shivering.
"They forgot your birthday?" He asked as if it were insane. "Well i'll be sure to make it special either way...whether they remember or not there will be lots of tea and pearls and lace." He said wanting to make her smile...really smile.
"Oh, well i hope they say yes...and i hope you hear from them soon." He knew some would say he was too nice to her, but maybe she was just mean because she didn't have anyone so nice in her life, maybe it's what she needed. He didn't think he could change her just that he might be able to make her a little happier.
