NaNoWriMo Novel: Ch.7 A Car?!

I gasp as I see a blue corvette sitting in our driveway with freshly fallen snow on the ground around it. There is a huge bow stuck to the top of it, just like you see in all the commercials. The whole scene looked straight from a magazine. I’m caught between crying at having such an amazing car and laughing at how ridiculous it seems to be getting a car for Christmas. I immediately feel silly about what I got Edwin, but I hoped he didn’t mind that I didn’t pay thousands of dollars for it.

“Oh thank you!â€? I gush, finally remembering how to speak. I throw my arms around Edwin’s neck and kiss him. He laughs at my obvious excitement and pushes me back, jingling the keys for me to take.

I grab them and run to my car like a little kid. I run my hand along the shiny paint and hold my breath as I get inside. I notice that it is a convertible and I squeal in delight. I run my hand delicately, lovingly along the interior. I absolutely love this and I couldn’t wait to show it off!
