Yeah?

[She makes a face.]

I made yours first. And then I was thinking about how maybe the kids' parents don't do anything for them for Easter, and we know Max's won't be and...it just sort of spiraled from there.

[Shit.]

You really went all out for the little shitheads, huh?

Yeah, I guess. [She considers.] My parents never wanted to do anything for Easter but I always envied the kids who got all the candy and had fun, you know? There...may be about two hundred plastic eggs hidden around the house for tomorrow.

[Because she has no idea that all of the kids will be there to help Max get settled.]

You hid eggs around the house?

[Jesus Christ, Robin. Hopefully she didn't go anywhere near the pool.

He sighs slightly, a hand going up to run through perfect and slightly messy hair. ]

I'm not much for Easter, ya know ?

I know. Your parents sucked.

[She moves to get the milk out of the fridge to pour them something to drink with their breakfast.]

Just figured we could do better than our families did.

Yeah.

[Thanks for that reminder,Robin. ]

This will be good for Max. Smart thinking on your part.

[She just voiced the truth that they both know.]

Thanks. Hope you're hungry?

For breakfast? Always.

[You know it's his all time favorite meal, Robin. You never skip breakfast.

Ever. ]

[And that's why their entire dinner spread is other breakfast foods and not a thing that's traditionally considered Easter, except well. Eggs.]

Great. Eat up.

[She plants herself at her usual spot at the table and picks up her fork.]

You really didn't have to do all of this, you know?

[He nods towards both the food and cute Easter baskets.]

Thanks.

I know. I wanted to. I don't really know why. Just...fixated on it this week and then --

[She waves her hand around.]

Thought it might be interesting to start our own tradition.

I'm not much for holidays.

[Robin of all people knows that. Holidays just aren't the same anymore and they're constantly lacking.]

But it'll be good for Max, yeah?
