"Yeah?" The sheer amount of relief he feels surprises him, though it's quickly surpassed by the hug that Mindy draws him into. There's a sudden sense of deja vu as he returns it, only this time there's no office party echoing in the background, no chance of being interrupted by co-workers with impeccably poor timing. There's no Cliff.
An auto-remind kicks in at the memory, one that Danny has steadfastly installed within himself since he'd arrived. This is not the same Mindy he left behind. He can't expect to pick up those moments again like all they'd done is hit pause.
"I uh, so I spoke to your building manager and found out that your tenancy in Dimera started on the 17th, so I figured today's gotta be your first anniversary. And I just..." He gestures at the wall, then at the rest of their surroundings, his verbosity a much needed release of nervous energy. "I didn't think it should go unmarked. If you woke up feeling sad then, y'know, I could try and cheer you up and if you woke up happy and wanted to celebrate, then I thought it'd be nice to share that with you." A second later he cards his fingers through his hair and blurts: "I got you a friendship cake."
