She leaned back into the soft cushions of the couch, breathing heavily. A sense
of exhilaration overcame her as she struggled to catch her breath.
No matter how much planning, waiting and sneaking around she did, it all came
down to this one perfect moment—ecstacy.
She looked around the room and absorbed the twinkling of the lights on the
Christmas tree and the presents that seemed to tumble out from its trunk.
She was so glad she had found that perfect spot for hiding and wrapping all
those presents. She had not, however, counted on the energy it required to drag
all those presents up from the basement. It didn’t matter now–the world was
perfect on Maplewood Drive.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
