This is your place? It's beautiful.
She looks around, a smile on her face.
Thanks.
Camus? I'm impressed.
Wish I had the chance to finish it. Of course, I can say that about almost everything, I guess.
It hurts, of course. If by his face alone.
"A loveless world is a dead world, and always there comes an hour when one is weary of prisons, and all one craves is for a warm face, the warmth and wonder of a loving heart."
I like that part.
Me too.
Listen, if your cop friend comes through, maybe I'll get a chance to ask Camus himself how it turns out.
A laugh.
I want you to reach for something.
A box, on a bookshelf. Well cared for, made of beautiful wood.
Go ahead, open it.
What are they?
My grandfather's recipes. My dad translated them when I was born. They've been serving these in my family's restaurant for decades. They're yours.

I want you to have them. For everything you've done for me. I just ask one favor.

Use them for your sister's surprise birthday party.
Prue doesn't want a party.
Birthdays are important. I know. I walked out of my last one and... It never occurred to me that I wouldn't get another.
She has to look away.
She may not know it, but she needs to celebrate her birthday. You all do. Don't take it for granted.
How could she ever take another birthday for granted after this?
