“Honey!” you’ll call to her up the stairs. She’ll wander down tentatively, clearly hung over from the night before, her socked feet dragging a little over the hardwood. When she reaches the landing she’ll chew her lip and look around, confused.
“What?” she’ll say, her voice cracked and hoarse. You won’t notice.
“Look what I got!” you’ll shout at her, pulling on a velvet rope. The rope will in turn open a cage, the door of which will tear the sheet off the cage and reveal the contents.
The gila monsters will respond to the light almost immediately, slinking out of their cage towards the bowl full of raw meat that you’ll have left in the center of the living room. She’ll have her hand up to her mouth and she’ll be visibly shaking a little. You’ll step over and embrace her from behind
“Happy birthday,” you’ll whisper into her ear before you kiss her on the neck. She’ll turn around and kiss you on the mouth, her eyes now clear. Her arms will fly over your neck and you’ll know for the first time that you’ve done good on her.
Congratulations on Getting Her Just What She Wanted!
