We never did anything like that, celebrated birthdays, but even then it wasn’t anything big or all that special, y’know?” He shrugged. “Whatever you want to do, I’m happy to do it with you, I just want you to be happy and I’d do anything to make that happen.”
Carlos smiled at him. He reached and pulled his arms around Hancock to hug him. “I want you to enjoy it too. I’m actually very happy with how this turned out. I’m glad you liked it…”
