Once they had all finished their breakfast, Hermione took Claire by the hand and led her over to the sofa to give her the rest of her gifts. First, she opened a small Dior bag. Inside, she found a bottle of J'adore perfume.
"That one is from moi" Veronica announced proudly. Claire spritzed it on her collarbone, wrists and dabbled a little bit behind her ears.
"Thank you Ronnie, it smells beautiful." She said hugging the girl. The next gift was a pair of Chanel cat eye sunglasses with silver detailing on the sides, the next, a string of Tiffany & Co pearls with matching earrings.
"Here's a little one from me" Fred handed Claire a wrapped box. She peeled away the paper slowly to reveal a Polaroid camera.
"Thank you Fred!" Claire jumped up to hug him. She took it out of the box and snapped a picture of Fred and Hermione sitting together and then a silly one with herself and Veronica. She shook the pictures waiting for them to develop patiently. Once they had fully developed, Claire handed Hermione the one of herself and Fred.
"Thanks sweetheart" she said, showing it to Fred. "Hey, what do you say we go and visit Fp and Alice?"
"Ok!" Claire was delighted at the idea. She put on her new earrings and Hermione helped her clasp the pearls. Claire put the camera in her bag and the sunglasses on top of her head before they stepped out of the door. The four got into Fred's truck, Veronica and Claire in the back. Once they arrived at the white house on Elm street, they all got out of the truck and walked up the front path, letting Claire walk in front. She knocked on the door, slightly reluctantly. Fp answered.
"Claire! Happy birthday!" He said, hugging her fondly. Claire breathed in his warm scent. A mixture of aftershave, leather and cigarette smoke. "Come in" he stepped aside letting the four inside. It was dark except from the flames of 6 glowing candles. They heard voices begin to sing.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Claire, happy birthday to you!"
"Make a wish" Alice said as Claire blew out the candles. She wished that she could stay with these people for the rest of her life and that none of them would come in harms way.
