He is saying to her, “You don’t know what lies ahead.  Let me go first.  I will check it out and make sure that everything is okay.” She pauses, then shakes her head. “No, that’s okay.

When we were teenagers, birthdays were eagerly anticipated.  They were rites of passage: a driver’s license to gain new freedom; permission to buy booze legally; the right to vote in elections.  Birthdays were good. In our 20’s and 30’s, birthdays came and went, sometimes an excuse for a party but often not of any significance.  They just happened.  So what?
