DECEMBER 23, 1860
Noah was walking down the boardwalk. He was lost in thought when he bumped into Lilly. Looking up he said, "Oh Lilly, I'm sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going. I was trying to think of something to get Ivy for Christmas."
Lilly smiled. "I think I have the perfect idea. Why don't you come with me to the store! I will show you."
"Alright thanks Lilly. Have you decided what you�re going to get Javier?" Noah asked as he offered his arm and led Lilly into the store.
Lilly led him over to the jewelry case. "Here, I saw her admiring that bracelet and ring."
Noah looked at them. "They are pretty. They'll look good on her, thanks Lilly."
Lilly nodded, "You�re welcome, Noah." Then she walked over to talk with Javier.
Noah bought the bracelet and ring, and as he was leaving he bumped into Clover. "Oh hello Clover."
Clover smiled, 'Hi Noah. OH, those are pretty." She said noticing the jewelry.
"Thanks. They�re for Ivy for Christmas."
Clover smiled thinking I should be the one getting those. "Oh good luck."
Noah nodded his thanks. Then walked off thinking, will she ever just leave me alone.
Clover watched him leave then turned and headed into the store. Looking around she found a new hat. As she paid for it she hoped she could outdo Ivy and get Noah for herself.
