Her eyes moved back and forth in time with the clock, her fingers caressed her cheek and lips. She knew she was forgetting something, what was it?
* tick * tock * tick * tock * tick * tock
She stood there, beside her favorite clock, for a while. She’d almost thrown it out when she’d received it as a Secret Santa gift a few weeks ago, but now she couldn’t believe how thoughtful whoever had given it to her had been!

She thought harder about what she’d forgotten.
She’d showered, applied her makeup, done her nails, put on her outfit… but there was something else.
* tick * tock * tick * tock * tick * tock
She looked around trying to figure it out, until she saw the table beside the door, her phone sitting there.
* tick * tock * tick * tock * tick * tock
She walked over and picked up her phone, unlocked it and typed in a number she didn’t realize she knew.
* tick * tock * tick * tock * tick * tock
“Brian?”
“Yes.”
“Your Secret Santa gift is ready to be unwrapped!”
