DECEMBER 20 . . .
4:40 p.m






The doorbell rings once again at Tom's house as he comes downstairs, walking up to the front door. He looks through the peep hole, seeing a man in a work suit. He opens the door, revealing the mailman.

"Yes?" Tom asks.

"Are you Tom, er, Holland?" The mailman asks adjusting his paperwork.

Tom nods, "Yes, why?"

"This is for you." The mailman says giving him a box.

Tom takes the box, looking at the man in confusion. "May I ask who's it from?"

The mailman holds his pointer finger up, leaving to go get something from his car.

Tom's eyes follows the man curiously as the man comes back with something in his hands.

"Here you go." The man smiles, handing him another box.

"Uh, thanks." Tom chuckles lightly, noticing the holes in them as his eyebrows furrows.

"You've got one lovely girl." The man says.

"Who's it from?" Tom asks once again.

"Oh, I'm sorry." The man chuckles, "She told me not to say, which reminds me." He says, pulling out a note card and hands it to Tom.

"Thanks," Tom smiles, nodding his head as a goodbye.

After knowing the man left, Tom closes the door after himself as he gently places the box filled with holes on the floor. "Okay, let's see what the note says this time." He mumbles to himself. He opens the little note card as he reads it silently to himself.



i remember you said one day that
you felt like something's missing,
so i gave you something to keep
you company. she doesn't bite
much, but she does love to bite
squeaky toys. she's very lovable
and she loves to be cuddled with.
the other box is filled with her
favorite food, bed, everything she
needs and toys. her name's tessa xox.

- your secret santa



He places the card in his pocket, opening the bigger box as it reveals a small blue staffy puppy with a dark blue collar around her neck. He smiles widely at Tessa, picking her up from the box. "Hey, Tessa." He says softly. "Who brought you here?" He asks rhetorically.

Tom grabs the other box, taking it with him to the kitchen. He places it on top of the counter, getting a knife from the drawer. Cutting the tape off of the box, he puts the knife back in the drawer, and opens the box all the way. He takes out the dog food, putting it aside with one hand as Tessa tries to bark at it.

"You want some food, Tess?" He asks in a baby voice, caressing her head with his free hand as he adjusts Tessa in his other hand.

He takes out her bed, putting her bowls and her little toy on the little bed as he takes it with him to his room. Once he enters his room, he closes the door after him. He places Tessa's bed beside his bed, gently placing Tessa on the floor to roam freely. He takes her bowls out of her bed, giving Tessa her toy, realizing he forgot her other stuff downstairs. He opens his door, quickly closing the door after him before Tessa could follow him.

He runs downstairs grabbing Tessa's food and training pads. After grabbing the stuff he thinks she'll need, he quickly runs back upstairs to his room, seeing Tessa lying upside down on her bed with her little toy in her mouth. Tom laughs softly causing Tessa to look at him in confusion as she kicks the toy out of her mouth, sitting up straight on her bed. He walks up to her bowl, opening the dog food, pouring it into the bowl afterward as Tessa tries to run up to her bowl. As she eats her food, Tom grabs a water bottle from his mini fridge, pouring it into the other bowl.

Tom sits down next to Tessa as he sighs happily as he hopes to find out who his secret Santa was and hopefully fast.
