Zoe strolled out into the dimming twilight of the Persephone evening. This was her last outing for the day, and she was bushed. She had finally gotten around to purchasing Kaylee a gift, which seemed a miracle in and of itself given the day's insanity. The cost of getting everything together for tomorrow weighed on her, and not all of it was monetary in nature. She knew she would have to pay for her actions soon enough, but she reckoned it was would be well worth it. As she thought about what was to come, she could not prevent a small grin from spilling onto her lips. Unable to resist, she took another peek inside the small case she carried in her gloved hand. Within it, the little opalescent item gave off a warm glow even in the failing light. Kaylee was going to fall over stone dead when she saw it. Might be it would even make Inara a little jealous. Everyone was going to question where she got the money to spend on something so fine. They would find out soon enough, though, and she would deal with it then. But for now, she was brimming with excitement. After everything that had happened, no one on Serenity could possibly anticipate what she had in store for them this Christmas!
