I knew he wasn’t kidding when his voice cracked and his eyes looked glassy. “No, actually, I have an anniversary present for you.”
Complete silence.
I looked directly in his eye without a hint of joking. “Really? You did. You’re not kidding.”
“It’s not wrapped yet. So, how about I give it to you now, so I don’t have to wrap it.”
Big sigh. That sounds more like it.
