" What are those? " I asked Allana.
She sat on the floor with a bunch of parcels as I went out of the bathroom after my shower.
Allana looked up.
" Oh! Good! You're done! Change first and we'll open them together. "
" You're very excited to see what's in the parcels."
" I am! Thrilled actually! So, go change! Now."
" Mind if I-"
" NO! CHANGE NOW."
I went to the closet and changed.
" What's in those parcels?" I asked her.
" Happiness."
"Happiness?"
I went out of the closet and sat beside her.
She handed me one box.
" Wow, it's heavy. What's in the box of happiness?" I asked.
I hope it's Happy Meal!
" Open it."
And I did.
" You have the commemorative book of our wedding? "
Not Happy Meal.
" Well, these were Carmela's gift to us. "
" Oh. Well. Let's send her a thank you card."
" I think it's nice. To have these in our apartment."
" All I ever needed in my apartment is a ton of books with my photos on it!"
And I need a Happy Meal.
" Not all of them have your photos. Some of them are commemorative photos of me."
" You know I love you right?" I asked her as I put my arm around her.
" Well, screw these books."
" What?"
" Dang it, what do you want?"
" Nothing."
" Really now?"
" Fine, Kate's inviting us to a party that she and Charles planned. A surprise party for William."
" Because his birthday is coming up."
" Yes."
" And?"
" They planned it without me."
" Harry, are you jealous?"
" No. Yes. "
She kissed my cheek.
" No need to be jealous! I'm here."
I kissed her back.
" Promise me, when you plan me a surprise party, I'll be a part of the surprise committee." I said.
" That wouldn't be a surprise party anymore."
"I know. "
She frowned and made a face, then went to bed.
" Nap?" I said.
"Yep."
She put her self in the blanket and slept.
I just sat there next to her reading a commemorative book entitled -" Allana, Never to Plain and Simple".
The first page was us, in the Jaguar, on our wedding day.
She really isn't too plain and simple.
She's complex.
