Before Lydia can talk, the host yells loud. "Our last giver is Mr. Derek Hale! Derek Hale gives 15 million!" The room goes quiet. Then everyone screams. 15 million is too much. No one knows who Derek Hale is. Lydia looks at Erica fast. "What happened? I told you to give three million!" Erica looks scared. "Miss, I did that! I put three million under Derek's name!"

I imagined that I was in front of Mother Lily and started the performance. Scratching my head I said, “ My! Oh My! I have so many gifts to deliver. There are only two hours for sunrise. Let me recall all the gifts I need to deliver. A pretty frock for Sam, the shepherd’s five-year-old son, A brand new toy car for Mrs. Erickson who lives all alone.

Hunter looked intrigued by the box, surprised. “You don’t have to bother.” He was a little embarrassed. “You can open it. I do not know how much you are going to like it. You know, I am still not very good with my magic and may not be on the whole… “ Hunter stopped me by putting his finger on my lips. “Silence, bunny.

“These are amazing! The best Christmas present ever!” I smile as he embraces her and as she beams, proud of the gifts her aunt has most likely helped her buy. He proceeds to open his other gifts; a Shiatsu back, neck and shoulder massager from his mother, a Bluetooth smart pen and notebook set from Paris, a wireless charging pad and organizer from Kennedy, and a Ralph Lauren messenger bag from Reagan. I see he has deliberately left my gift for last, and his brows raise when he unwraps my gift. “There Was a Country ,” he calls out the name of the Chinua Achebe book I found in Waterstone the day before.

I pretended not to notice him and walked away, but he appeared at my door with gifts. When I saw him trying to speak to my grandmother, my face darkened, and I dragged him to the tree outside. “What are you trying to do? My grandmother does not know who you are.” Jonah looked broken. “I only wanted to make things right, Jade.” I laughed in anger. “Do I look like I need anything from you?
