[Much as he did back in December, Viktor gets up early and disappears to work long before Jayce awakens, leaving an obviously pre-meditated box and letter waiting for him on the kitchen table. As if there's any question about who it might be from, the name Jayce is written on the envelope in Viktor's familiar, hurried script.
The content, at least, is much more pleasant than the last letter he had to write.]
Jayce,
There is nothing I can write here that hasn't already been said. Thank you for this past year, and for everything you've done to make our future together possible. I can't wait to share it with you.
Yours always, Viktor
[Inside the box is, predictably, the ring that he promised. Viktor has done his best to make them match, more or less, though Jayce's is appropriately gold and the design of the gears has more of his own signature on it. He's taken a few artistic liberties, not content to just duplicate Jayce's design, and of course he's enchanted it accordingly, the bands and gears moving of their own accord.
It has a protection spell too, of course, enhanced with his own blood--not that he's going to make any of that known.
And then, within the box, a small, additional scrap of paper.]
P.S. I spoke to the owner of our workshop building. He's looking to sell.
