Arianna approached Maxim, and he drew her back into his arms before accepting the package she had brought.
He ripped it open, revealing the gift hidden inside. He couldn't believe his eyes. Inside was a nicely handmade hankie with a lively dragon covering half of the hankie and his and Arianna's initials on the corner.
He had seen so many things, and hankies were included so he could tell whether a machine or hand was used at a glance, and this was made personally. He noticed the red spots on her fingers, which were most likely caused by the needle while she was embroidering.
He could now tell the real reason she hadn't slept and appeared tired when he saw her that morning. The girl had spent her night sewing a hankie for him, and he was deeply moved.
Nothing like this has ever been done for him before. He was used to receiving expensive gifts that meant nothing to him. No one has ever taken his feelings into account.
