"I have a gift for you."
Serena looked up tiredly from where she sat in front of the mirror, her fingers loosely gripping the hairbrush she had been absently running through her hair. She raised an eyebrow, her voice filled with exhaustion, "A gift? Why? What's the special occasion?"
Aiden grinned, leaning casually against the doorframe. "Nah, no occasion. Just a gift, you know, for no reason."
Serena sighed softly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "Alright then," she nodded, though her tone remained unenthusiastic, "Just give it to me and let me get some sleep."
Aiden's grin widened as he shook his head, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Uh-uh. Can't bring it here. You have to come outside."
Serena stared at him, her weariness almost palpable as she slumped a little in her chair. "Aiden," she groaned, "Can't it wait until tomorrow? I'm seriously too tired to deal with whatever this is."
