There were a few gifts grouped together that probably stood out from all the others. Completely black gift boxes with faint baroque patterns wrapped in midnight colored ribbon. They were all stacked on top of each other depending on their size. On top of the final box was a sealed note. Right next to them was a large bouquet consisting of all the flowers S had given to Elizabeth in the past few months, all completely in perfect shape.
Focusing back onto the gifts, each box includes the following items:
A high quality, red fur jacket.
Various unique and fashionable accessories, like an Eyeball necklace and gold jewelry.
A jar of eyeballs to snack on.
Then, all there was left was the note inside an envelope, sealed off with a blue wax stamp. Upon opening revealed the following message:
——————————————————— Dearest Liz , —————————
Happy Birthday .
Today is a very special day , and it deserves to be celebrated (according to you) . So , through this letter , allow me to express my gratitude for your presence in my life .
Friendship . I had made it clear to myself that I would be against anything of the sorts . That is until you tried forcing the bond onto me . Naturally , I outright rejected you at first . But gradually , I started coming to terms that it wasn't as bad as I thought . Friendship is truly valuable . Loyalty , shared joy , and unconditional support is what it's shown me , all because of you . And for that , I thank you .
Romantic love was a feeling I thought I'd never feel . I used to be so appalled by it . I was taught that it was a weakness . Which is why I was admittedly frightened by it when you caused me to feel it . I ran away & hid . And after ? Well , I'm sure you can recall it quite well . But at the end , choosing to embrace it has offered me a new perspective on things . And for that , I thank you .
You never gave up on me . Even through the most harrowing situations , your resilience (and stubbornness) showed . You truly do care . And words cannot describe how happy I feel because of that . And for that , I thank you .
I might as well be thanking you for everything , but let's not go that far .
Anyway , enough with the sentimental writing . It's highly likely I'm never going to repeat it again . So cherish it .
I'll be there with you in a little bit .
Love ,
S.N. ———————————————————
She’ll never say more than a thank you about the letter, but she’s already memorized every word.
And as for the items?
“HOLY SHIT THANK YOU! AND THAT JACKET IS SICK”
