Thanks for the gift. You should know I have a
boyfriend. From before. It's not going to happen
between you and me. Sorry I didn't tell you before.

A little after that, I got this message:

What gives?

I don't know, I guess someone hacked my account. I know
I didn't send that. I don't have a boyfriend--though I
think I have someone in mind... :)

BTW, what gift? I didn't get anything...

I dropped it off on your doorstep; it was in red wrapping
paper, and had a card attached. I hope you can find it, but
I suppose it could have been stolen... *kicks himself*

Hey, you're not too shabby yourself, either in looks or
brains! (And trust me, you're much braver than I could
ever be...)

Oh! A package just like that fell out of the closet yesterday.
That must be it. I wonder why it was in there...?

I could compliment you all day. I'm not going to, though--
that would take too long to type. :-)

Really? You'll have to explain your logic to me over chess.
Five-ish in Washington Square good for you? We never finished
our first game.

That explains it. Sort of. Maybe the same person who hid the
package also sent the e-mail...
