alynwa.livejournal.comThe next afternoon, as Illya and Leona headed home, she said, “Papa, I want to buy a present for Daddy.”
Amused, he replied, “You do? What do you want to get for him?”
“I dunno, but Daddy said Santa only brings presents for children. Only grown – ups and kids give presents to grown – ups.”
Aha, he thought, Leona will be giving me a present that Napoleon bought. “Leona, do you have money?”
“No.”
“I think it is a wonderful thing that you want to give Daddy a present. I will gladly pay for it, but you tell him you bought it, da?” He picked her up as they entered the penthouse elevator.
“Okay.”
“Good; tomorrow after I pick you up from school, we will go to A&S shopping. Can you not tell Daddy our plans?”
“Yes; I didn’t tell you…” Leona clapped her hands over her mouth. “Yes, Papa.”
Illya ignored her gaffe and replied, “This will be our secret.” She is so cute. “Go change your clothes, Little One, I will prepare our snack.” When Leona returned he said, “Have you thought about what you want to get him?”
“Socks; Daddy says his feet get cold.”
“That is perfect.”
