She blew out the candles, but her attention was focused on the woman singing.
"I've missed you," Mina said. Ruby wrapped her arm around Mina's shoulders, completely unaware of all the things that had happened after she left.
"I made sure to be back here specifically for your birthday." Mina smiled. She realized that Ruby probably had no idea that she used the life calendar. She was only the third person who had ever sung to her on the actual day she was born; the first was Willow and the second was Ash.
"Are you staying?" Mina asked, hoping that the person who President Lee wanted Mina to meet with was his nan.
