Prompt #20: Presents
{181 words}
Ary was not a big spender of money even if he was usually in possession of more than he knew what to do with. The truth was, he would rather spend it on the people he loved and one of those people happened to be Gillyweed Beery.
For her Christmas present - or presents since there were multiple -, the seventeen year old had thought long and hard about what to get her. Then he had researched and schemed about how to best source the articles he required. It may have taken him weeks to acquire all that was wanted but in the end, he was proud of himself.
“Merry Christmas, Gilly,’’ Ary told his sometimes partner in crime sincerely. This was so because Ary could always count on Gilly to sit with him in moments of silence when he was feeling worn out from being in the company of two overly energetic best friends. “I hope you like them.”
His gift idea had been a stack of old books of various genres, most of which were either limited editions or first editions. [/QUOTE]
