『 Hey hey hey, iiit's Leia...! Sorry I missed you, but I'm pretty tied up at the moment--probably chasing my next story. Leave me a message and I'll call you back as soon as I can. Thanks! 』

[ Leia will find a small, neatly wrapped package on her doorstep addressed to her.

When she opens it it'll be a fancy fountain pen in her favorite color and a leather bound notebook. There's also a simple silver bracelet with a few colors gems dangling from the chain. With all of this is a handwritten note. ]

Happy Holidays, Leia. Good luck with your newspaper business. Maybe these will help you to start out.

- Jude

[ Leia wasn't going to open it. Not yet. She knows the rules, and the rules say to open presents on Christmas lest you be turned into a grinch or something!

Okay, maybe she got that wrong... but either way, that message is entirely too tempting.

She grins and brings the entire package inside with excitement, already tearing into the wrapping without even hesitating. In her eagerness, she lays out the entire contents of the gift on her table, reacting predictably. She's immediately putting on the bracelet and flipping through the notebook, squeeing to herself; but finally, once she's more composed, she darts off to put together her own present for him--because she doesn't feel like she can wait until tomorrow anymore.

It'll be tonight, and she won't even have to go out in the cold. ]

The fact that you were able to drop that off without me noticing means I've lost my touch, but it was a really sweet move, so I totally forgive you.

Thanks so much for being my friend. Here's hoping you like my present as much as I like yours! (I accidentally opened it early... oops!)

Happy Christmas,
❤ Leia

[ Later on in the evening, Jude will find his own package at his doorstep, with the above card attached, adorned with doodles and drawings. It's fairly hastily wrapped, but looks cutesy regardless--a dead giveaway of who it's from.

When he opens it, he will find the (rather thick) sequel book to the one she'd seen him reading before. Within its pages, there's a hand-drawn, laminated bookmark, pictured with flowers that look vaguely like the ones he has in his bouquet that she gave him. She isn't much of an artist, but she knows how to choose colors that are vibrant and stand out... and she's actually really proud of it.

With that, she's gone in a flash, right back to her room to continue her last-minute prep for her busy day... ]

[He doesn't expect a return gift from her. He sort of got her and Milla gifts spur of the moment so he hadn't thought they were any good but... apparently it was successful according to her note here.

Once he receives it he'll text her briefly, knowing she's probably busy but wanting to thank her at the very least.]

Thanks, Leia. You didn't have to but I appreciate it. I'm glad you liked your gift too. I'll see you tomorrow at the gala.

[Leia chuckles a bit to herself when the text comes, and she's quick to respond. By now, she's probably told him about going in early to help out, so they both know they'll just have to find each other there!]

for sure!! just text me c: ❤

[Honestly though, she's never too busy for her friends.]
