The Gift

He handed her the book.
‘I’m sorry it’s not a first edition.’
‘Well does it have the same words?’ she asked.
‘Yes, I suppose it does.’
‘Then I love it just the same.’
She leaned in and kissed his cheek.
This made him happy.
He hoped she would do it again, but instead she began to slowly thumb through the pages.
Thankfully, watching her enjoy the gift made him happy too.
