"I guess we'll have to go through the gifts and do that thank you card thing tomorrow huh?" Roz said trying to keep the conversation going as they approached the bed after changing into their pajama's.
"That's a good idea, it's proper etiquette after all to get thank you cards out promptly." Frasier agreed as he slid into his side of the bed.
"I'm still surprised Mom was so happy. I mean the last time she was here she did ask a lot of questions about you. I couldn't figure out why but now I'm beginning to wonder." Roz was speculative as she slid into her side of the bed.
"Well it's only natural for people to wonder, considering how much time we spend together.." Frasier fluffed his pillow and laid back. "Goodnight Roz."
"Goodnight Frasier." Roz said as she turned off the lights. They stared at the ceiling quietly thinking as they drifted off to sleep..
MORNING
Alice was having a great time playing with the wrappings and building things with the empty boxes near the piano, as Frasier and Roz went through the gifts, with a large stack of thank you cards in front of them.
"OK, next we have an autographed copy of "Gil's guide to gourmet dining". Frasier read the card on the next gift.
"How useful," Roz rolled her eyes as she began to write.
"And here is a box from Daphne," Frasier pulled off the lid, gulping at what he saw inside.
"Well what is it?" Roz got tired of waiting and peered over into the box, laughing when she saw the "Mantastic" emblem on top of the box.
"Oh come on, how bad can it be, open the box." She prodded as Frasier gingerly pulled off the lid and started surveying the contents, reading the containers. "Body paint? Massage oil? Scented Lotion? Oh that must have been a gag, here's some clothing accessories in the bottom, Frasier observed as he found an assortment of silk scarves, " Looking up perplexed as Roz doubled over in laughter.
"I don't think these are for wearing Frasier, gosh I can't believe Daphne did this though." She continued chuckling.
"I'm not sure I follow." Frasier was thinking.
"Let me put it this way, remember Ryan from last weeks show...... and what context he talked about scarves in." Roz tried to jog his memory.
"Oh my" Frasier blushed as the light dawned and he threw the scarves back in the box like they were on fire, causing Roz to laugh uncontrollably.
"I swear Frasier, you're not really that much of a prude are you?" Roz giggled.
"Oh come now Roz, it's not that, it's just lack of exposure. Lilith was always fairly clinical about these things, and well it's not like I've had a lot of girlfriends, even the ones I've had haven't exactly been uhhh...... oh geez I'm not going to sit here and discuss my sex life with you." Frasier hurriedly moved on to the next package blushing furiously.
"You're too funny you know. Who knows one day maybe you'll get to walk on the wild side." Roz laughed some more, standing when the doorbell rang and going to answer it.
"Hi, flowers for Roz Crane." A seemingly innocent delivery man held a bouquet.
"I wonder who those could be from?" Roz smiled happily.
"You are Roz Crane? Could you sign here please?" The delivery man held forth a clipboard.
"Yes that's me and I'll be happy to sign for them Roz said as she handed him a tip and then signed the clipboard."
"Consider yourself served." The man said briskly as he handed her an envelope and left her standing stunned at the doorstep.
"Hey, you could at least have returned the tip." She yelled after
him before slamming the door.
