"Ah, very true. Dinner comes first, doesn't it?" he said.
Just then, his phone went off. "Oh. One moment..." He picked it up. "Hello?"
A smile broke out on his face. "Hi, Emmy. Oh, thank you, sweetheart. Yes, Daddy's having a good birthday. How are you and your sister? Behaving yourselves? That's my girl. Is Haley there too? Can you put her on? Hi, Haley. It's Daddy. Yes, sweetheart, I got the card. Did you pick it out by yourself? Well, it's beautiful. Yes, just like you. Of course I haven't forgotten! We'll do your birthday when I see you next. You're getting to be such a big girl! All right. Listen, Miss Drake is making Daddy dinner, so I have to go. Be good. Love you, too. Bye-bye, sweetheart." He snapped the phone shut.
"The girls just wanted to wish me a happy birthday," he explained.
