Birthday Presents From Jean

Jean looked wistfully at the falling snow. He did not say anything for several minutes until the glow wine in his glass ran out.

"I have a birthday present for you..." He placed his glass on the table and pulled a box from under his coat. "I know, surely Caspar has given you very expensive gifts, so I will not try to give gifts of expensive items. I know they will not be comparable..."

Finland was stunned to see the little box on the table. They were never together when Finland had a birthday because Jean was usually busy with his work, but he would always send her flowers.

This was the first time Jean gave her a birthday present in person. For Finland, Jean's mere presence here was already enough.

"You don't need to give me special gifts..." Finland said with a smile. "Flowers like usual is good enough for me."
