Harry 🥰
calling

Happy birthday mum!

Thank you, baby!

Sorry I didn't call earlier. I was running late this morning and I had to call Freddie and he was very chatty today.

That's fine, baby. You know I'm used to your crazy schedules.
And this way I can say thank you for your lovely present, we opened them after breakfast, Gemma brought them.

I know.
Do you like it?

It's my second favourite present this year.

You rank them now?
I don't think that's very nice.
What did Gemma give you? And Robin?

Oh, they're all second favourite as well.
Zain got me my favourite?

Zain? My Zain?

No baby.
Some random guy I met at the supermarket yesterday.
Of course your Zain.

What did he give you?
Do you really like it?
He's really bad at presents...

Really? He gave you a nice one as well if I remember correctly.

Right, yea.
Just. I've been around him and Louis brainstorming. It's... not very good.
But what did he give you?

You really don't know?

No. I know Freddie drew you a picture-

He did. Look how cute!

A dinosaur, why am I not surprised?

And some flowers, see? Gemma said he told her to tell me that those are birthday flowers.
Oh baby, don't cry.

Sorry.
I just miss him.
He's just so sweet.

Harry, love.

I'm fine.
And you still haven't told me what Zain got you.

This.

Oh.

Aren't they gorgeous? Did you know he could paint like that? Realistic, I mean? I thought he did abstract.

Yea no, I knew.
Louis has one of Freddie when he was younger. It's in his room.
But still—

Quite impactful, right?
Stunning.
And you both look so happy. He captioned you both so well.
Gemma also didn't know apparently, she was so surprised.
Robin loves them as well, we'll put them in the living room later.
A few of the neighbours have come to congratulate me already and Martha and Jenny both asked after him and when I told them Zain'll have an exhibition in London soon they asked for the details, isn't that exciting? And my friends who've come over for the party all wanted to know as well. I think I might even take a trip with Joss and Kathy to London and go see the exhibition. We're all very excitedly
Why are you crying?

Nothing, I just miss him a lot.
I'm a bit emotional at the moment.

Are you?

Yea, nothing to worry about mum.

But there is something?

I— yea.
I kinda wanna do it in person, though.
