writing_shadowsShe was surprisingly touched to receive a human heart.
She'd never been an 'it's the thought that counts' person; the phrase had always been used to defend people who hadn't put any thought, time, or money into the 'thoughtful' gift, which was always awful. She'd rather not receive any at all - which, this year, she had, until now.

It wasn't even an enemy she felt vengeful toward, really. The only one of those she had at the minute was sitting across from her with a decidedly sulky expression as he blocked the sight of the gift from the other people nearby. But it was an enemy, and it was a gift.

But not quite.
