I'm grabbing some things before I go out." If she peeked at his desk she would see an item that wasn't normally on the desk laying there among what looked like some reports, the cracked picture frame of him and his daughter. "What did you need?" He'd demand again, turning around, his eyes moving to the box and then back to her. Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Geum Jan Di Mentor Defense But that requires effort...

Well that's kind of a relief. Bad timing, either way. She does peek at what mysterious item that is as she walks over. "Uh. This is kinda awkward. I was just dropping something off..."

She holds the box towards him silently. He'd be able to see Evelyn's name written on the tag.

With a soft sigh, she'd try to shrug it off. "It was for a few years ago, to be honest. But obviously..." she trails off before shaking her head. "None of the years after that felt like a good time. And then with you away I was like, hey, why not now? I mean you're the only person I can give it to, y'know? So it's for both of you I guess?" She shrugs again, unsure how he'd take it so she's a little tense.

"You know why we celebrated Christmas?" He'd say after a moment. Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Geum Jan Di Mentor Defense But that requires effort...

He shook his head and sighed. "But her Mother wasn't. It was very important to her. She used to call me a Grinch." A hint of a smile crossed his features as he slowly unwrapped the gift.

"You're kidding." I mean on the one hand, she can't say it was out of character. But on the other it sounded so ridiculous that maybe it kinda was? The gift is revealed to be this pretty snow globe: Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Trainer Powered Trainer [send pm] Joined: June 2011 Posts: 12,706 Drop off (Mathew Office) « Dec 20, 2015 23:13:50 GMT -6 » Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top "I'm not kidding. It was back in High School. I literally broke in to a bunch of houses and stole their Christmas presents. All from people I knew." And hated. He didn't sound terribly ashamed of it either. It was more of a statement of fact. "I think she would have loved this." He'd say carefully holding it in his flesh hand, looking it over. "I'm surprised you kept it all these years."

Grinch was more appropriate than she initially thought. Her smile softens a bit however. "I'm glad. And I mean, what was I supposed to do with it? I'd feel like a dick throwing it away or giving it to someone else. I got it with her in mind and all that."
