Back home, it was early morning. Eleanor gathered the documents left over from working late last night and put them in her laptop bag. When she came downstairs, Evelyn was still on the living room sofa playing a guessing game with Princess.
A pang of guilt washed over Eleanor. Because of work, she spent far too little time with her daughter. She set down her bag and came over to her. "Mommy will get off work a little earlier today to be with you."
"Mommy, Daddy's birthday is coming up. Are you going to get him a present?" Evelyn asked, looking up.
Eleanor was taken aback. Ian's birthday?
That's right. August 12th was his birthday. She had remembered it every year during their marriage, but after three years of divorce, she had long since forgotten. Or rather, she no longer made a point to remember the date.
"Okay, I'll get him a present," Eleanor nodded, ruffling her daughter's hair. "Do you need Mommy to help you with your present?"
"Nope, I'm going to make him a card myself," Evelyn said with a smile.
Eleanor marveled at how much her daughter had grown, her heart swelling at how incredibly mature the little girl had become. Her little face was starting to show more defined features. She leaned down and kissed her. "Okay, Mommy's heading to work now!"
"Go on! Daddy is coming to pick me up in a bit."
Eleanor had gotten a call from Ian last night. He was taking Evelyn to the golf course today to teach her how to play.
On the way to work, Eleanor took a moment to think about what to get him. A tie, a belt, a razor…
None of those gifts felt appropriate anymore. So, what would be a suitable gift for him?
Finally, Eleanor thought of a fountain pen. It was practical without being overly intimate.
Having made up her mind, Eleanor focused on driving.
