joel:
- we saw how he went IN for ellie's birthday so expect something nice.
- he'll spend days in advance planning it out. maybe he even found a place months prior.
- so he wakes you up the morning of or the night before if you've got somewhere outside of jackson to go with a suspicious grin.
- he'll be SO quiet about it and it drives you insane wondering what he has planned for the day.
- "just a hint?"
- "you're as bad as ellie."
- he also carves you something!
- anyway it's so cool, maybe he found some old place that you used to love. whether it be a library or something else.
- you're absolutely shook when you see it.
- he's got the biggest shit eating grin on his face when he sees your face.
- "happy birthday darlin'."
