Chapter Nine

Over the next week Wayne kept to his word. He refused to take any business calls. Anything that could be handled by someone else was passed along. Lily loved having him all to herself. When they were together the twelve years that had passed melted away. He took her to lunch to take time out of shopping. When they weren’t shopping or wrapping presents Lily was baking in the kitchen. Wayne spent a great deal of time on decorations. He purchased more lights, and at night she saw how awful he was at working on a straight line. She made mince pies and cookies. Several nights carol singers came ‘round to the house. They’d left the gate open to allow the freedom of festivities. Wayne warned about the dangers.

He took her to the jewellers to have her ring size tested. Lily refused. She didn’t need another ring. He’d promised to owe her a favour if she agreed to do this for him.

“A favour?” she asked.

“Yes, I’ll give you anything you want.”

She smiled recalling all the dirty thoughts that had rushed through her mind at the time. Lily topped the last of the mince tarts when she heard a curse come from the dining room table. Wiping her hands on the towel she moved into the dining room.

He glanced up when she chuckled. Wayne glared at her. He had cello tape wrapped around his whole hand. The doll he’d been trying to wrap looked nothing like a doll.

“You could help me,” he said.

“I will. I’ll get you a cup of tea.” She left him fighting with a toy to go and get the beverages. When the kettle finished boiling she poured them both a cup of tea. She glanced down at her finger and felt the loss of his rings. Lily wondered when he’d find the time to give them to her.

Their problems seemed so petty now. She would do anything to get the rings back on her finger. Over the last few days she’d hinted as much.

Shrugging her shoulders, she pulled out the tray of mince pies to let them sit on a cooling rack.

Lily took two then walked back into the dining room. When she’d put the cups and plate down, she helped Wayne with the toy. He really didn’t have a knack for wrapping.

“You used to do this?” he asked.

She nodded, smiling.

“I thought you got it gift wrapped.” He mumbled something else, which she didn’t quite catch.

“I may have come from money, but as you know my dad lost it. Spending money on gift-wrapping was a waste of time. I was told to make it look like it had been gift-wrapped.” She took the present from him, and in a few quick movements she wrapped the doll. Lily wrote on a label then added it to the other Santa bags she’d made over the years.

He grumbled some more. She tested the heat of the mince pie then pressed it to his mouth.

“Eat and stop moaning. At least you have me to wrap for you.
