[ Given on Christmas morning, a series of gifts wrapped neatly in shiny gold paper:
— a dark blue silk dressing robe, — a leather-bound blue notebook with his initials embossed in gold on the front, — a brown and navy cashmere scarf, — a sandalwood-scented candle, and — a pair of sparklers.
Pressed between the gifts is a simple piece of off-white card stock, upon which has been written: ]
Rupert,
It's very difficult, it turns out, to do Christmas shopping when everything I look at reminds me of you. And it's even harder to wait until Christmas when I want to tell you positively everything. I'd say I've been staying on my best behavior in the interest of staying on the Nice List, but between you and me, the Naughty List doesn't scare me so much anymore. Who cares if I get coal from Santa? I already have the most incredible gift of all: you.
Adoringly yours, ❤️ Amy
P.S. I included a couple of must-haves for New Year's Eve, too.
🎁 delivery (dated 12/25).
