G rarely opened up about his childhood. After all, everyone who came through the door knew it, the whole foster kid situation. Why elaborate? In their business, the less you knew, the better.

But something had been entirely different about Sam. Something just below the surface that made him want to open up. Maybe....well, he couldn't place it. He wasn't one of those psych out types like Nate.

He'd eventually told Sam when his birthday was, because it didn't matter and never would. It had been a coupe of years, since, and he'd never mentioned it again, until after he'd gotten shot.

Birthdays seemed kind of like a big deal after that. So G waited again, fully expecting Sam to have completely forgotten, until Kensi had dumped a birthday-card sized envelope on his desk, her eyebrows raised.

So he'd ripped it open, a singe message inside a bank card- Beers on me. Who knows how many times I get to do this?

Huh. Maybe birthdays did matter.
