Anne hopped into the car and immediately began showing off the three big presents she’d gotten.
Max smiled and said softly, “Let Mommy hold onto those for you, okay?”
Anne didn’t hesitate. She handed everything over to Felicia, who tucked the gifts into Anne’s little backpack, making sure each one was safe.
When they pulled up to Oakridge Estate, the whole place was decked out for holiday. The decorations were everywhere, dazzling and festive.
Inside, the living room looked like a treasure trove. There were custom plushies, gorgeous gift boxes, and even the deed to a house sitting among the piles. Most of the gifts were clearly meant for Anne and arranged in a way that was every kid’s dream.
Anne’s face lit up when she saw it all. She let out a squeal and hugged the largest plush doll, practically disappearing in its arms.
“Mommy, Daddy! Come help me open these,” she called, eyes wide with excitement.
Max stepped forward and sat on the couch, picking up a box and turning it over in his hands.
Felicia came over too, settling into the seat across from him.
Anne tumbled off the plush and ran to her mother, then waved to her dad, “Daddy, over here! Sit next to Mommy.”
Max glanced at Felicia, then got up and slid in beside her. He handed Anne the gift box he was holding, “This one’s from Mandy. You can open it yourself.”
Anne grinned and carefully unwrapped it. Right on top was a shiny New Year’s card. Inside she found a pair of diamond hair clips in the shape of bows, delicate and sparkly, and definitely handmade by Mandy.
She gasped. “Mommy, put them on me!” She pressed the clips into Felicia’s hands.
Felicia knelt to attach them, watching Anne’s eyes shine as she checked herself out in the reflection of her phone.
They moved on to the other gifts. Each one was extravagant—gemstones, jewelry, precious things worth more than most people saw in a lifetime. To Anne, though, they were just pretty treasures, no more special than shells she might find on a beach.
At last, Max picked up one final box, this one set aside.
