Kawakami Gift Guide Novels & Stories

I’d known it was too much to hope the initial visit from Alex Darte was the last I’d see of Caleb, so I wasn’t surprised when the persistent bastard sent more gifts. Each day, a different gift was delivered to my office, each as extravagant and superficial as the roses—designer jewelry, high-end perfumes, branded handbags, clothes and shoes, gift cards for exclusive spa weekends, tickets to high-end opera or Broadway shows. I threw away or burned every single gift, but they just kept coming. Surprisingly, instead of fury, Kade reacted in a different way—he sent gifts of his own. The first one was a mug with the brand ‘Alpha’s favorite’ on it. Along with it was a note: Kade’s, not Caleb's.

In January of the forty-first year, Ethan gives her a gift that she does not expect. Not for her birthday — that was in October. Not for Christmas — they have a long-established arrangement in which they give each other things that are useful and specific rather than symbolic, which has produced over the years a set of gifts that include the correct ceramic from Kyoto (his, to her, the year after the honeymoon — a small tea bowl from the Higashiyama district, not from Pep's teacher but from the market nearby, chosen because it had the same quality of the correct irregularity), the first edition of a book about the Priorat that she did not know existed (hers, to him, the year after the wine b

It's been a whole year since Twilight and Takumi lived together and she did visit her dad sometimes. During that time, Tis kept nagging her about you know what. They also ended up getting each other weird birthday gifts. Takumi got Twilight black, fluffy handcuffs and she got him a bunch of porno mags. Mostly so that he'd stay out of her hair...pants. Right now, she was on her way home from another day at work. When she got home, she went straight to bed, not bothering to talk to Takumi.

Derek says as he walks up to me. "And this is for you," I say as I hand him the bag. "I overheard you talking about it, and I so happened to have a good friend in publishing." Derek took the gift with a flicker of surprise, real surprise, not the polite kind people like him wore like cufflinks. His fingers brushed mine for a second longer than necessary as he accepted the bag. He looked inside, recognition blooming across his face. “Kengo Kuma: Complete Works,” he said, nearly reverent. “This edition was only printed for the Venice Biennale. It’s impossible to find.”

"Hannah, look—so innocent yet alluring. It's perfect for me, isn't it?" I had gifted it to her because she loved it. My hands shook as I picked up the delicate, nearly transparent cloth. My throat closed up, and my head spun. The doubt I'd buried deep inside finally broke free. Confusion and pain crashed over me. Before I could even think, the violent sound of colliding cars split the air. Then, blackness swallowed me whole.

Although the clue was that Camilla believed picnic, camping, or something like that, Camilla did not expect Kairav to actually take her camping for 2 days and 1 night. The girl went back to make sure her belongings were in the backpack and recalled if there was anything she had forgotten. "Oh my! I almost forgot the gift for Kairav!" Camilla stumbled in shock as she remembered that after the item was purchased she still hadn't moved it from the storage under the bed. She bent down and opened the storage under the white bed and a thick, expensive-looking paper bag emerged from it. He opened the bag and took out a black but luxuriously designed watch box.
