Putting things off to the last minute for Christmas shopping was a specialty of Cecily’s. Now with an extended family he had even more people to plan for. She could have easily written out a list and given it to her assistant to go get the items but she always wanted to do it herself. She thought it gave the items more sentimental value. Browsing a men fashion store on 5th avenue she paused at a pair of cufflinks thinking to herself about nice they’d look on Antoni. She pivoted to ask for assistance when she smacked into another figure. “I am so sor-” she started to say, but cut herself off as she looked up. “Derek?” She questioned, hoping it was a mirage. How small of a world would it be to bump into her ex boyfriend as she was buying a holiday gift for her husband?
