Presents for Sophie - 1.

Sophie tears into the gifts one by one. The first envelope gives up a black dress so sheer it might as well be a whisper. She smiles, already knowing whose hands will smooth it down her body later. A small box opens next, revealing a delicate pink belly chain with a tiny butterfly dangling at her navel—Tara’s taste exactly. The largest box waits last. Its lid lifts to show an avalanche of toys, lingerie, and other delights packed tight, more than she can count in a single glance. The room grows warmer with each new reveal.
