A/N: So, as promised, a double upload today not only for my birthday, but because I have life plans tomorrow that I will be away from home for most of the day and would have no way to upload this chapter until super late tomorrow. So, I present to you tonight, Day 7. Enjoy.

Day 7: December 7th

There was an oddly wrapped package that looked suspiciously like a bottle of wine on his dining room table that night around dinnertime.

Sharon decided that she'd open it while Andy was showering.

As she tore into the snowflake wrapping paper, what she found underneath stunned her and rendered her speechless.

It was a bottle of some very expensive looking Merlot.

As she read the title, she was rendered speechless.

It was a Miani FilipColli Orientali del Friuli Merlot.

It was a rather expensive wine from the looks of it.

Meanwhile, Andy made his entrance into the kitchen and piped up, "It was made in Northeastern Italy in case you were wondering."

"Andy. Do I wanna know the price tag on a rather expensive looking Italian wine or how you got it here?" asked Sharon

"Nevermind that. Let's just say they only make about seven hundred cases of it a year and leave it at that," Andy told her with a wry smile on his face.

"Oh my god, Andy! How did you even get your hands on something like this?" asked Sharon.

A friend of a friend was taking a trip to Northeastern Italy a few months ago and I asked him if he could pick one of these up while he was there. Gave him the money once he'd given me the wine," explained Andy as he sat down at the table.

"Andy! This is way too much," Sharon told him emotionally as she too sat down in the chair across from him.

"Nothing's too much for you, my dear," Andy told her as his sock clad foot gently brushed her calf.

"Well, thank you. This was very thoughtful, Andy. You know how much I love a Merlot from time to time," said Sharon.

"How about I make some pasta for us and you can have a glass?" suggested Andy.

"I'd love that," replied Sharon as she smiled at Andy as she brushed her bare foot against his calf as well.
