Danica

The plaster casts on Danica’s legs were off, and her legs felt strangely light as she sat on the side of her bed. She knew she must’ve gotten used to the weight of the plaster, and while she was glad it was gone, her legs felt less protected. They were paler and far skinnier than usual, and there were scars from the crash. They were just small lines on her skin now, but they were a reminder of what had happened. She resolved that she’d build up her strength again. Getting the plaster casts off was a huge step back to normality for her. She’d been in a hurry for it to happen; she wasn’t sure why she felt uneasy about it now.

Danica decided she probably just needed some time. It was movie night and she’d been looking forward to it all day. She hadn’t been able to get out to buy Emily a present for Christmas. She wasn’t prepared to send her parents to do it because they already did so much for her, and it felt like something she should do herself. Danica decided to order her something online, and she enjoyed the hours spent shopping, as they were an enjoyable distraction from sitting in bed healing and the exercises she had to do.

She knew she wanted to give Emily a personal gift, and it couldn’t be too large if she was going to carry it in her bags back home. She wanted the gift she bought her to be romantic and something she’d like. After looking at presents ranging from scarves to handbags and ornaments, she eventually settled on a pair of gold earrings. Emily had pierced ears and while she hadn’t worn earrings much lately, she knew it was likely because of the weather.

As many women knew, metal could chill quickly in the wintertime.

Danica remembered the long crystal earrings that Emily used to wear when they were dating. She settled on a pair that she thought were pretty, similar but unique, and which reminded her of those good times they’d had. She was going to pay when she noticed a split heart pendant. The two sides joined together to form a heart shape; each could be worn on a separate chain. She had a set budget for presents, but she had enough to afford it in gold.

Each half had room for a letter or name to be engraved. Danica wasn’t sure if Emily would accept her gift as it was intended, because it meant they’d be together. If she didn’t, she would still have the earrings. However, if she did… well, Danica wasn’t sure what would happen after that, but she was excited to find out.

It felt incredibly right, so she arranged to have the pendant engraved and ordered the jewellery, including two chains, with express shipping. They said they would make it by Christmas, so she hoped for the best.

Danica settled back on the bed and rested until not long before Emily was due to arrive.
