Samantha stared at the perfectly wrapped gift on her coffee table. When she had received a brown parcel the day before she had had know idea something as nice as that would be inside and she figured she would find something even nicer when she peeled back the gift wrap.
Something was puzzling her though. Who was if from? Jack had already given her that gorgeous necklace before he skipped home to spend Christmas with his family, Danny had given her a Mets cap when he knew full well she was a Yankees supporter, Martin had given her a music store gift certificate and Viv had given her a magazine subscription. Who else could there be? Well, her parents but she would get their gift on Boxing Day when she went to visit them in New Orleans. So who was it from?
She had a feeling she would find out when she un-wrapped it, so she did. Underneath the gift wrap was a pink box. She opened the pink box and found a yellow box, she opened the yellow box and found a blue box, she opened the blue box and found a green box. Samantha was getting pissed of now. Couldn't whoever had sent this have wrapped it more simply? She opened the green box and found a red box, she opened the red box and found a maroon jewellery box just the right size for a ring. Samantha opened the jewellery box to reveal the most exquisite pear-shaped pink diamond set in a thin silver band and a note that read:
Marry Me?
Jack xxx
Oh. My. God. Samantha instantly picked up her cell and dialled Jack's number, so he was with Marie. He obviously planned on leaving her after Christmas if he had proposed to her.
"Jack Malone."
"Yes." On the other end of the line Jack's face lit up.
The End.
Maybe Sam's being a bit naïve but hey.
Merry Christmas everyone!
