[ If only she was embarrassed due to the reason he most likely thinks is in her own mind.
She slowly sits down beside him on the bed. The towel gently moves down her hair as she pats it down. Golden eyes shift to the floor for a brief moment. Then, she nods. She did enjoy herself. Finding shells for his present had been fun.
Pepper told her not to mention his birthday. That means not asking if he had found her present or what he thought of it. She reminds herself that it's okay if he hadn't noticed it.
