“Want to see what else we got you?” Jack asked, bouncing slightly on the bed.
“Jack, her hip.”
“Oh, yeah. Sorry. Are you all right?” Jack asked.
“I’m fine. My hip isn’t that bad.”
“Here.” Jack grabbed a shoe box from the floor and handed it to her. She stared at what was written on the side.
“Oh my God. You guys didn’t.”
“Course we did,” Ian replied gruffly, looking uncomfortable. “And before you start protesting that it’s too much and you can’t accept?—”
“Blah, blah, blah,” Jack added irreverently.
“We bought them on sale. No returns,” Ian told her.
“And if you don’t wear them, then Jameson will have to,” Jack said. “Since we’ll give them to him for his birthday next month.”
“Good plan,” Ian said in agreement.
They were so ridiculous that she couldn’t help but roll her eyes. But she couldn’t turn away the boots without at least looking at them.
Right?
That would just be rude.
And she might be ridiculous and a disappointment, but she was not rude.
Well, not today anyway.
Opening up the box, she almost swooned. They were shiny black. The leather was pristine and they had that new shoe smell.
“They’re perfect.”
“Do you want to try them on?” Ian asked
“More than anything.” But she put them back in the box. “I can’t accept them, though.”
“Do you want them?” Jack asked, lying alongside her.
Lord, he looked gorgeous like this. What would it be like to wake up to that smile every morning?
Her mouth went dry at the thought.
“Of course I do. They’re gorgeous. But I know how much they cost. It’s too much.”
“I guess Jameson is getting them for his birthday, then.” Ian took the box with a shrug. “It’s a shame. They’re more you than him.”
“That’s because they’re women’s boots!”
“Nah,” Jack said. “That’s not it. Pretty sure he’s worn women’s boots before.”
“He has not!” She giggled at their foolishness. “You can’t regift them to him for his birthday. That’s not nice.”
“Last year, for my birthday, he got me therapy session vouchers to help me get in touch with my inner emotions,” Ian told her.
“They have vouchers for that?” she asked.
