Luke's, Tuesday, Oct. 22

It was Bay's 18th birthday. So far she'd gotten: a box of clothes and art supplies from the Kennishes, a hand-drawn card from Regina, a sweet text from Daphne that made Bay feel vaguely guilty she hadn't texted her birthday twin first, and a text from Angelo promising her present would be waiting next time she visited Kansas City.

So, not a bad day at all, even if Bay didn't think anybody in Fandom knew it was her birthday. She wore a new scarf from the box o' presents to the diner, where she put her favorite foods on the specials menu and sketched a cake and candles underneath. It was a birthday girl's privilege.

Mike shrugged. "Me, I just don't want to confuse people."

He sized Bay up critically. "So, 'Bay', huh? That's an unusal name. After the body of water, or the herb?"

"Also an excellent reason," Bay shrugged. "And my mom says the baby name book said it was like a laurel tree, so I guess the herb? But I usually just say it's like a large body of water 'cause it confuses people less. Which is sort of sad."

"That's the one," Mike told her. "I don't know what a bay tree looks like, nor do I care, but people love to pick the leaves and put them in stew. You ever see a big ol' leaf floating on top of a pot, that's bay. Ask in the kitchen; they'll have some."
