“Kendall, I couldn’t accept…I mean I didn’t get you anything.”  Bianca takes the box.

“Yeah, you did Bink.  You helped me and treated me like a human being and I almost felt like I had a touch of family today Bink so you deserve it.  Besides, I really want you to have it please?”

“I…today was nice Kendall.  Thank you.  I hope we have another day some other time.”

“M-me too.” Kendall wipes at her eye, “Now, go call Maggie.  You promised her dinner and I already made a reservation for you two in the restaurant on me.  Uh..uh..no arguments. Now scoot.”  Kendall pushes her toward the phone.

Kendall turns to the front desk and writes a note and hands it to the desk clerk who places it in Maggie’s room number box.  She strolls to the elevator and this time it her who takes Maggie’s spot on the elevator.  Maggie walks to the desk and greets Bianca.

“Hey Bean.  Where do you want to have dinner?” 

“Maggie, you are not going to believe this, but Kendall made reservations for us here and is paying for it.”  Bianca smiles at her best friend.

“Wow.  You two must have had some day.  Yeah, she even bought me a Christmas present.  I will have to think of something to get her.  It was such a nice day.  Let’s go eat shall we?”

“Yeah, just let me check my messages.”  Maggie walks to the desk and receives the note that Kendall left for her. She opens it.

Maggie,

I thought you might like to know that the perfect gift for Bianca is on hold under the name Stone at the Pine Valley Jewelry Store.  If you have any problems with the amount, not meaning to be crude, call this number and it will be worked out.  Anyway, you have 48 hours to decide.  Being helpful.

Someone who knows you care.

“Did you get a message?”  Bianca breaks Maggie’s concentration.

“Huh?  Oh, yeah.  Nothing important.  Let’s go have dinner.” Maggie pockets the note smiling and follows Bianca to the restaurant.

‘Kendall Hart, I believe you may have found your heart.’  Maggie thinks to herself.
