Dated Friday, June 28th
Given the late notice he had about Kate's birthday Jesse was a little hard pressed to come up with something to do for her. Given how low key she seemed to want to keep it today though, it wasn't entirely possible. Jesse figured maybe it had something to do with her family not here or something like that, which he could understand. Everyone should have something fun to do on their birthday though.
At work that day, he'd started off by leaving an 'anonymous' note for her. It directed her to the break room where a bouquet of mostly dead flowers he'd found out behind a florist shop were waiting. The next note had a pretty easy to solve riddle that directed her someplace new. That one had a crudely drawn pink flamingo at the bottom, which he hoped would help her realize it wasn't some crazy stalker leaving her the stuff.
There were several more locations, most of them out of the way places only the grunt help like he and Kate knew about or visited, each one with a new treasure hunt note and some little gift. Mostly it was candy or random items he picked up for cheap at the thrift shop like an ornament or a new bathmat.
The last one brought her to the crappy little room they often had to go to if they needed to file something or retrieve a file. It was set up with a completely awesome table he was surprised no one had snatched up from the thrift store after the Furby attack, along with the crappy hot dogs from the cafeteria and two cupcakes he'd bought and decorated to look like eyeballs, one with a candle jammed in it.
Fun, but hopefully nothing too big that made her uncomfortable.

"Birthday awesomeness for tonight is a go," Jesse said with a nod. He didn't have any other plans, at least not anything he couldn't cancel (because he could always watch movies another night) and hanging out with Kate was a blast.
"And I think we'd have trouble not being awesome."

"Hey, any time you have a birthday I'm more than happy to make it awesome," he said, shrugging his shoulders. If she did want to go out and do something though, he could absolutely come through on that.
