Jack had been in their bedroom, trying to get Katelynn’s present wrapped while she was out of the apartment. But now, through the open door, he could hear her coming back. Frantic, the blue man hurried to tape the last of the tissue paper in place.
“Oh, y-you’re home!” he called, quickly shoving the wrapped package under the bed.
“Y-Yes!” she called, trying to move past the door to hide the evidence of her shopping spree. Nothing in the bags was for her but she supposed he would be astonished by the amount. “Nothing like a g-good walk around town.”
She giggled nervously as she entered the kitchen, placing everything delicately on the counter to avoid breaking anything. Fretting about, she began unpacking it all.
He soon joined her in the kitchen. The crinkle of plastic bags hadn’t escaped his ears, and he was curious. “Looks like you did some shopping while you were out."
