nevertheless decided to buy you a gift,
something she knew would make you
overjoyed. She wrapped it beautifully
with colorful papers and attractive
ribbons. She excitedly jumped out of the
closet to surprise you with a gift. But
you had no emotional reaction. You
simply looked at her and the gift with a
blank stare.
