“You forgot, didn’t you?”
“I did not forget!” Liz replied with a sniff. “If I’d forgotten I wouldn’t be here now, would I? Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to…” Liz started to sing.
“It’s four thirty in the morning, for god’s sake Liz, get out of my bedroom! You forgot!”
“You won’t be wanting your present then,” Liz flounced out of the room, slamming the door behind her.
