Out of all the Christmas gifts Rose had gotten, there was one she treasured the most. Various things from Lissa and her family through the years could have been it, but it wasn't. Nor was it Mason's last gift, the wooden jewellery box. It wasn't a T-shirt from Christian saying 'Watch out! I'm on my period', which he thought she was all the time considering how often she asked her if she had PMS. It wasn't the Nazar she got from her mother. Abe, Lissa and Adrian had given her lots of big, expensive gifts, but it wasn't one of those either.
It was a small gift, one that according to the giver was just supplementary and bought in the last minute. As you have probably already guessed, Dimitri had given her it.
I suppose you're wondering what this amazing gift could be. Lip gloss? A mug? Lingerie? A hamster? An engagement ring?
Wrong. It is something more subtle, but still thoughtful, because duh, Dimitri bought it. Something you can wear without many noticing it. (It's still not lingerie, though.) Can you guess? No.
A pendant necklace, that's what it is. A simple silver chain and hanging on it, a small pendant made of out amber. The pendant didn't shine very much, nor was it very noticeable in any other way, the fact that made it so special was that it was formed as a heart.
That's not special, you say, and I get it because there was god knows how many more in the shop, but for Rose it was. She didn't know anything about what stones or colours represented, but it was beautiful and it was from Dimitri. He couldn't afford those big expensive necklaces with twenty different kinds of rocks, and she didn't want them. Because, seriously, when would she get the opportunity to wear those?
This simple kind of jewellery was optimal for both his wallet and her as a person. She could wear it everyday, every time - almost - and it made Dimitri happy to see she wore and enjoyed it. Rose became happy because Dimitri was happy and then it kept making them both happy, which made it an awesome gift.
So awesome that Rose planned to give him a similar one next year.

I want to thank everyone who has supported me, reviewed, followed and 'favourited' during this year. A big THANK YOU to all you amazing people out there! Lots of cyber hugs and cupcakes ;)
As a side note, this is very 'rambly' and I know that, but I think this is my natural writing style, so if you plan to read more of me (which I hope) you'll see more of it. Especially in original stories.
I wish for you to have an AWESOME 2015 and Happy New Year! :D
