Present Day
Will looked at the items spread across his bed. He couldn't believe he'd gotten all of his Christmas shopping done and there were still three weeks to go! As he eyed each gift, he ticked names off his mental list of giftees, hoping that they would like what he had gotten. He supposed he should have asked everyone what they wanted, but he actually liked surprising them much more. He'd ignore the fact that it may have been the slightest bit selfish to think that way.
Now, all he had to do was wrap everything and have it all delivered. Selecting the holiday playlist on his iPod, Will started the carols playing and settled down to his task. Cutting paper and ribbon, carefully taping folded edges, decorating each gift with the miniature ornaments he'd bought just for that purpose, he managed to get all of it done just as Inez walked into his room to see how things were going.
"Oh, honey! Everything looks beautiful," she said, giving him a little hug.
"It does, doesn't it?" Will grinned, standing back to look at the assortment of boxes covered in festive wrapping.
"And you remembered to take off all the price tags, right?"
The smile froze on Will's face and he blinked twice.
"Aw, shit."
