"Oh, You and I safe from the world though the world will try"
It was a little under two weeks until Christmas. This happened to be one of Heather's favorite holiday's. She loved the snow and everything that came with it. Heather woke up one morning to an empty bed. Alejandro had left her and so her heat source. All that was left in his place was a small piece of paper. She picked up the paper. On the front was her name in Alejandro's neat and precise hand writing. She opened the small note. It read
"Everyday leading up to Christmas she will be receiving something. Today you will go on a scavenger hunt around the house to receive your item"
After the instructions she found the clue.
"The place where you add to your beauty"
Heather knew this one almost instantaneously. She sat up and bolted to the bathroom.

Heather flew into the bathroom. She rifled through the drawers. No bottle on the counter was not moved. She finally reached for the medicine cabinet door when the clue fluttered to the floor. Victoriously she grabbed the note. Heather sat down on the lid on the toilet and opened the clue.
"Best place for cuddles"
This clue seemed easier than the last. She stood up and raced towards the living room.
ღ❄ღ
Once Heather reached the couch she tore off all the pillows. Let me say Alejandro loves his pillows. Once every pillow was haphazardly thrown onto the floor she started tearing off the back cushions. She searched and searched still no clue. Once all the back cushions were removed Heather started on the seat cushions. It took an immense amount of time, but once the last cushion was off the clue was found. She let out a tired sigh as she opened it.
"Place as warm as your hugs"
ღ❄ღ
There was only really one place this clue could direct her to. After putting the couch back together she made her way to the fireplace. This one wasn't much of a search. He had it propped up in the fireplace. She opened the glass doors and plucked the clue out of the fireplace. Heather walked back over to the freshly reconstructed couch. She sat down and relaxed for a second. The tearing apart and putting back together of the couch really wore her down. She sat back for a second before opening the clue. Once she did she was stumped.
"Place that stores your favorite thing"
"Hint: under your favorite"
Obviously Alejandro was her favorite, but he isn't stored. Then she got it.

She stood up and made her way to the kitchen. Her favorite food was chocolate. They stored chocolate in the pantry. She walked to the pantry and flung open the door. Heather looked for her not so secret chocolate supply. Sure enough it was under the chocolate. She grabbed the clue and a piece of the sweet treat. She walked over to their kitchen table. Once Heather was seated she opened the clue.
"Final Clue"
"Best place for kesses"
If the first two clues were obvious then this one must have been for a two year old. She hadn't seen Alejandro all morning. She didn't know where he could be so she wandered the house.
ღ❄ღ
Finally. Heather reached their bedroom. As she walked in she noticed Alejandro sitting on the bed. Heather looks at him.
"So what is my present?"
"Nuh uh uh. Payment is required before anyone receives any present"
Heather walks over to him and places her hands on his knees. She leans in and gives him a kess. Alejandro seemed satisfied. He pulled a black box from underneath the bed. Inside the box was a beautiful diamond necklace.
