It was a good thing that Steve wasn't going to try to delay things for propriety's sake, because Rogue's response would have been Propriety can go screw itself.

Rogue grinned at Steve and the reminder of one of the reasons for their meeting that day. "They did, didn't they?" She shook her head and slipped her hand into the crook of his elbow again, the gesture feeling completely natural now. "Well, sugar, it's your birthday. What'll make you happiest? Just name it and I'll make it happen."

She wanted the day to be perfect for him, and while she already had a few of her own plans, if there was something particular that he wanted, then she wouldn't hesitate to make it a reality. She was also planning on clearly her schedule for the 5th, and possibly the 6th as well, just in case the night took the turn she was rather certain it would.
