[ assuming that emily is still working at the cabaret club at the end of the day, she will find a lone bottle of wine waiting for her at the bar, long after the eponymous bartender had disappeared. and if she tries to put it back in the cabinets, a fancy-looking red card will fall to the floor, which reads (in pretty dark cursive no less): ]
I heard that it is your birthday today. As for how I came across this information, let's just say that certain people in my clan aren't inclined to keep secrets.
But to celebrate, I have here a wonderful bottle of moscato set aside for you. With a zesty flavor and low alcohol content, I am sure that this is to your very liking. If not, there is always a next time until I can get it right. :)
[okay, getting this bottle and the letter privately means that she can't protest it, downplay a birthday she thought she'd not have. it's a kind gesture, and she'll accept it in the spirit that it's been given. it'll pair nicely with dinner, something to be savored and taken in over a few days. . in return, when Shylock comes into work next, there's a note addressed to him in neat cursive, tucked behind the bar in his usual spot.]
Mr. Bennet,
Your thoughtfulness and well wishes are most appreciated. Please know I very much enjoyed your selection, particularly because it was not anything I would have gone and tried myself. It reminds me to be a touch more adventurous when the opportunity arises.

Once again, happy birthday, Ms. Dyer.
