Secret Santa Delivery: Manning T
[He asked for a carriage ride, and he gets one. The invitation comes first, and it's beautifully embossed on thick paper and features a picturesque scene that was clearly commissioned for the occasion. It's a winter scene, and it shows a family of three atop a carriage on a snowy ride. All three riders are blond, including the little child sitting between the glowing parents. On the back of the card, in calligraphy, come the details of the excursion: One carriage ride on the evening specified.
When that evening comes around, it's a sleigh that arrives. It is a beautiful affair, much nicer than the one that normally circles the town. The horses are dappled, and the red sleigh is piled high with blankets and pillows and lights that twinkle. At the end of the ride, in a temporarily erected gazebo alight with fairy lights, more blankets and pillows wait. There is a fire crackling that is warm and cozy, along with the makings for hot chocolate with marshmallows. It's just a small stop, given the winter cold, and then the driver will convey them home again.]
