“He's not my husband yet. - She nods apologetically. “But yeah… And that's totally exaggerated. "Doesn't seem to like it." — I hate... “Yeah, they tend to be pretty overprotective of us.

Minutes pass and soon the room is full, with several women sitting around with glasses of champagne in one hand. The place was full of gifts, ranging from lingerie and jewelry to bond coupons for hours already paid in spa and shops.

Alice began, but Dorotea wouldn't let her finish. "And THIS," she announced with pomp, holding up a small wrapped package, "is the official gift from the club of octogenarian ladies in top form." The paper opened. Inside, a perfect miniature cowboy hat, light brown, with a tiny snowflake embroidered on the side. Alice completely lost the ability to form sentences. "Newborn size," Dorotea explained proudly. "Adjustable fit up to six months." "Oh my God," Alice whispered, holding the hat like a crown.

Bottles of expensive wine, kitchen gadgets we didn’t need, and cards full of money. A woman I didn’t know came forward somewhere near the middle of it all, beaming, and placed a small wrapped parcel on the table in front of me with a wink. “For when the time comes,” she said warmly, and clasped both my hands in hers before moving on. I looked at the parcel. The paper was printed with small yellow ducks. Whatever was inside was clearly for a baby. Kieran reached over and moved it to the side without comment. I kept my smile in place. It stayed there until the woman was out of sight, and then I let it fall and looked back down on my plate.

In the end, I randomly typed in that day's date—0101. My breath hitched when the password was accepted. There was a collection of photos in the chat. I tapped into a photo of a young girl holding a card with "Happy New Year" printed on it. She was smiling so wide that her eyes had crinkled into crescents. She was also clutching a box with a doll nestled inside. The caption that was attached to the photo read, "Mommy's New Year's present for Lindsey. She was so happy that she started jumping for joy."

"Suddenly, the clock chimed as it turned 12 o'clock." "Then, everyone wished Brantley a 'Happy New Year'." "Meanwhile, Brantley was so jovial that he was beaming with happiness." "Yeah! Wishing everyone a happy new year! Come on guys, here are your red envelopes." Brantley took out the red envelopes he prepared in advance and offered everyone one immediately. Mango and Nathaniel had also received one red packet each! "This was the first time Mango had received a red packet from her elders since she was married. Thus, she could not help but feel happy and excited."

The green shawl wrapped around her neckline to protect her from the cold, completely matching the Christmas dress code. "You scream of perfection, Prize," I complimented, extending my hand out to her, which she took, and I pulled her closer to me abruptly, which made our chests graze against each other briefly before she steadied in her position. "Merry Christmas," we said in unison, and my chest rioted in happiness. This little girl is bringing out a feeling I didn't know I could have.

She asked why I hadn't gotten home yet. I typed and deleted the message again and again for a long time before finally replying: [Something came up. I'll go back after New Year's Day. Don't wait for me.] The next second, she replied. [No rush. We'll celebrate New Year's Day together when you come back this time.] My eyes reddened. So this was how wonderful it felt to have someone waiting to celebrate a holiday with you. [Sure.] I turned and booked the earliest flight available. Although it was clear that I couldn't make it in time for the New Year's holidays, at least I could still go back and see her.

As soon as she heard it, an intoxicating scent came with it. “Sab, I thought it would be you. Sorry, I wasn’t able to go to your place earlier. Here, this is my gift. Happy birthday!” Clyde walked towards her as he talked with a smile on his face. Standing a couple of feet away, he offered her a small box, wrapped with a plain white handkerchief and sporting a red ribbon. It was a trend recently, on how to wrap gifts. Still, her heart raced and her face showed her confusion. But… what? Her mind is in turmoil.

She put it there so she wouldn’t forget where it was later. She put on her gloves and her bunny goggles. One of her students had given the goggles to her as a gift several years ago. They had a cute little bunny sticker on the top corner that matched the one on her jacket. She also had a green fleece scarf with cute little cottontail bunnies and Christmas trees wrapped around her neck to keep her face warm. Another gift from her students. Apparently, they thought she liked bunnies.
