“Jack has something going on, and Danny is out as well,” Alexander explained.

Oh, but… Elise was about to word her excuses when Alexander followed up quickly with, “Why don’t you sit down and watch some television with me?”

She took on the invitation with obvious reluctance, but the next moment, even as her eyes were fixed on the television screen, her mind had already wandered somewhere else.

Time ticked by slowly, and when the clock struck 11.30PM, Alexander turned to look at her. “We’ll set off the fireworks and firecrackers in the backyard later; do you want to come along with me?”

She snapped out of her thoughts and asked blearily, “Wait, is it time already?”

“Another half-hour to go,” he replied.

“Oh,” she muttered. “Then we should probably make our way over now.”

They sauntered over to the backyard where the fireworks and firecrackers had been readied for the new year celebration. Alexander went about arranging them, laying down the lead-in wires as he said, “We’ll set them off as soon as the clock strikes midnight.”

Elise hummed in response. Just then, seemingly by magic, Alexander produced a simple envelope and handed it to her, saying, “Here, it’s a gift for you.”

She stared at the envelope, which was bulging with what was presumably cash, and asked in astonishment, “F-For me?”

With a trace of impatience, he shoved it into her hands. “Just take it, will you? I’ve never had to think about getting gifts for girls, and I won’t have you turning down my kind gesture.”
