Eames is frowning in a way that Arthur has never seen before. Arthur tries to imagine what could cause that expression on Eames’s face. Eames is cool, calm, and collected no matter what shit is going down. The world must be ending somehow. A nuclear missile strike, the final ice sheets collapsing into the sea, something like this.
“What is it?” Arthur asks, stomach already sinking in dread.
“I have been invited to my niece’s sixteenth birthday party.” Eames brandishes the apparent invitation thunderously. “When the fuck did sixteen years go by! Impossible!”
Arthur doesn’t even try not to laugh.
