After dinner dishes were cleared, Cole remembered the bag hed left by the door. Oh, Jenny, I almost forgot. I have a surprise for you. He reached out his hand. Come see.
Her eyes widened, but she took his hand. He led her to the den and pointed at the couch. Have a seat and close your eyes.
She hesitated a moment, then sat down. She glanced up at Cole.
Closeem.
Pursing her lips, she complied, knee bobbing anxiously. Cole retrieved the bag and placed in on Jennys lap. Okay, now you can open them.
With a glance at Cole, Jenny peered into the bag. Brow knit in a frown, she pulled a large brown cardboard box out of the bag and set the bag on the floor. With another glance at him, she lifted the lid and gasped.
Cole couldnt stop the smile as Jenny picked up first one boot, then the other, eyes wide. Reverently, she ran her fingers across the purple embroidery.
