"Merry Christmas, guys. Merry Christmas, Chase," she said giving him a cheek kiss and gripping his arm warmly. She held up the bottle and wiggled it, brows raised and grinning sardonically. "Can you guess what I got you?" She handed him the bottle of 40 year-old scotch whiskey. "I swear, this is the only time of the year you guys'll have to deal with me being this sentimental, but I'm really glad I'm here to celebrate with you all."
Chase took the scotch gladly and admired the wrapping job. Ennai wasn't always — as she said herself, 'sentimental' — so something like this caught him by surprise.
Jokingly, he raised a brow, "Ennai... you're not suggesting I'm 40?"
"Chase, I would never," was her response.
He thanked her, vowing to keep this somewhere noticeable in the office. Having 40-year-old scotch to mark one's age was better than a full beard. Much easier to take care of, too.
(The above was roughly taken from live chat — thanks for that too, Ennai.)
(By the way, @Kidman, that was the king of reaction posts.)
