Treemaker: Chapter Seventeen

A package came in the mail. Elaina handed it to me, hopping from foot to foot with curiosity. “What is it?”

“I didn’t order anything.” There’s something really special about gifts that come in the mail. I brought my utility knife out of my jacket pocket and slowly cut it open, savoring the moment.

“It’s a bit late for Christmas, isn’t it?” Elaina peered at the invoice.

“Better late than never.”

A long wool coat lay inside the box—-new, heather gray, with a soft weave, and a label that made even Elaina grunt with appreciation. My arm slid inside each sleeve, caressed by the heavy material. The buttons mated with their holes easily, pulling it snug, but not too snug, around my waist. I twirled around, and the skirt of the coat flared. It fit perfectly.

“Nice. Who’s it from?”

“Fain.” Who else?

“You’re sleeping with him?”

“No.”

“Why’d he give you such a nice gift?”

“Maybe he didn’t want me to be cold.” One of the pockets held a note, computer printed on crisp stationary. A special request of the mail-order company, no doubt.

Something to keep you warm until Easter.

A warm flush coursed through my body, thinking of him.

Then guilt. I was Fenwick’s girlfriend.
