Gifts, Kisses, and Jealousy      

[LINA]

 

"That one," I said, interrupting the sales manager mid-sentence. "We'll take it."

 

"Splendid choice. I'll just get the keys, and perhaps we can take it for a test drive," the manager said with a professional smile before disappearing into the backroom.

 

A few moments later, he returned, holding the sleek black key fob. Before Daniel could react, I took the key and handed it to him with a bright smile. "I know it's a bit late but, My Christmas Gift to you."

 

Daniel froze, staring down at the key in my outstretched hand like it was a foreign object. His expression shifted from confusion to shock, his eyes wide as he stammered, "W-what? Lina . . . what's going on? I can't."

 

"Merry Christmas gift, babe," I said playfully, beaming at him, the corners of my lips tugging up in a smile.
