He opens the parcel that had arrived that morning. It was thoughtful gift, something he’d always wanted. Something he wished for, but never said out loud.

She had watched him for years, learning his routine, what he likes and what he doesn’t. Sending him the perfect gift.

She had made the present herself and delivered it by hand to be close to him.

He had no idea who this admirer was, but something deep down compelled him to love them.

She had loved him since the day she birthed him.
