#1

A laugh escapes Laura's lips as her nervousness is overcome with humor for a moment. Looking up at Nate, she shakes her head. "If I was breaking up with you, would I drag you all the way out to one of my favorite spots?" She laughs again, standing on her tip toes to give him a little kiss. "No... no, I'm not breaking up with you."

Sighing, she looks out over the land again and rests her head on Nate's shoulder. Her hand was still trembling, though she squeezed his fingers to try and cover it up.

All of a sudden, she gives a little jump as if surprised. "Oh. How could I forget?" She hadn't forgotten, but it was a good line. Straightening, she reaches into her jeans pocket and pulls out an object wrapped in red tissue paper. "When Paula and I were shopping yesterday, I picked this up for you. I thought we could hang it on the tree at home."

Handing it to Nate, she waits. She'd seen it in the store and had known it was what she wanted. It was only a simple ornament in the shape of a Christmas wreath, all pretty with red and green and a little bit of gold. Ceramic... nothing special. But on the bottom was as place for words, and the words on this one were "#1 Daddy."
