Jane usually hated her birthday. People bringing and sending gifts.

When Maura came in she feared the dress she would get.

When she was handed a small package Jane frowned.

Maura smiled at her 'I hope you like it.'

When Jane opened it revealed a multitool.

'I hope you like it."

Checking the tool Jane smiled.

'I expected a dress or something.'

'Jane the only time you wear a dress is when you are forced.' Maura said

But how you could think of this?'

Maura smiled. You know how my parents travel?'

Jane nodded

Jane laughed.
