Day One


On the First Day of Christmas…

She looks up, her bright eyes round as saucers.

"You've gotten me a Christmas present, Seamus?" she asks in a surprised whisper.

He smiles at her. "Of course."

"But I haven't anything to give you!"

"Like that matters," he says, sitting down on her hospital bed. "There's still a month to go."

"Why so early?"

"Because, you matter more than the date I give you something," he explains.

She smiles, now, because there's nothing else to do. It does not matter what's inside it - all that matters is that she matters to him.
