“Hello?” Greenlee waves her hand in front of her guest.

“Sorry.  All this food has gone to my head.”  Kendall smiles awkwardly.

‘Where did you just go, Kendall?’ Greenlee thinks, “Why don’t we move to the couch and have some hot chocolate.  I have something for you.”  Greenlee moves away from the table walking over to the couch.

“Oh.  Sure, hot chocolate sounds good.”  Kendall sits joining Greenlee on the couch tucking her legs under her.

Greenlee turns to the end table reaching for a medium-sized gift box sitting there.  She turns and hands it to Kendall with her hand shaking slightly.  Kendall takes the box into her own slightly trembling hand and shakes her head.

“You didn’t have to get me anything, Greenlee.  Really.  It’s just nice having dinner with you and not having to be alone.”  Kendall’s voice is low.

“You have done so much for me lately that you didn’t have to do and I wanted to get my friend something special so just shut up and take it.”  Greenlee smiles.

“Only if you open yours with me.”  Kendall pulls her gift out of her handbag sitting on the couch behind her and hands it to Greenlee. 

“Now, you definitely shouldn’t have gotten me anything after all you have done for me lately.”  Greenlee admonishes Kendall, but takes the gift offered out of a shaking hand.

They stare at each other for a moment before tearing into their presents like children.  They each stare in awe at their presents.  Kendall takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly as she stares at a beautiful diamond necklace.  She reaches into the flip box and lightly runs her fingers over it almost afraid to touch it. 

“Oh my God, Greenlee.  I can’t take this…it’s way too much.  It’s perfect.”  Kendall looks up at Greenlee to see tears running down her face as she looks at the emerald earrings that Kendall bought for her.

“I’m sorry.  You don’t like them.  I didn’t know what to…” Kendall starts, but Greenlee puts her hand up in front of her to stop her.

“I l-love them.  I love em-emeralds.  I never told Leo, because…he would try to buy them when he couldn’t…I…how did you know?”  Greenlee whispers out.
