[just_another]

He flushes deeply and for the first time in his entire life actually grateful to be on the phone instead of speaking to someone in person. At least this way she can't see how red his cheeks are under his beard or the happy grin he's wearing. "Thank you," he says. "We're very excited."

And what she's telling him sounds exciting, too, although Joel doesn't exactly have a portfolio for that sort of thing. "Les has an invitation, so I assumed you would be coming to the baby shower anyway, but um... if you want to see what I can do, I can show you around the house when you're here. I renovated a lot over the past several months and completely did the nursery from scratch. I don't have a portfolio, it's just something I like doing."
