[He woke up bright and early on Saturday -- old habits died hard, and Aidan was an early riser rather than a night owl -- and found the bag slung over his door handle. Confusion first, then. And the assumption that clearly there must've been some mistake, because the only person he ever expected spontaneous gifts from was Maddie, but his birthday wasn't for another day.

And yet. The mix seemed pretty damned clear.]
