It was always a difficult thing for Chuck to decide what he wanted to get Summer. He wasn't one for roses and chocolates, but he also knew that he wouldn't venture near a clothing store unless he had to buy for himself. So he had ended up in the tack shop, a dual gift shopping spree. He would buy something for each Fable, Digger and Bear, and then maybe he would find something special for Summer. They had both been busy lately, Chuck at the College and Summer around town. Some days he forgot to eat, and other days he forgot to sleep. He wasn't as young as he used to be, and it was taking a toll on his body. He did have the dark purple circles under his eyes, and his eyes were slightly blood shot.
Browsing through the various items on sale, he picked out two saddle pads, one in navy blue, the other in hunter green. For Bear he found a chew toy, and placing his items on the counter he hunted down the gift section. There were various items, but he found a small silver chain with a rearing horse on it. Perfect he thought as he picked up the box. For some reason it struck him that it was the smaller things in life that truly mattered. Same way as he was taking a 'picnic' lunch for Summer.
For a weekend the town was busy, and he really didn't want the hustle and bustle that would be in the town. Picking up the food, he made his way towards Birch Row, parking the rather ostentatious vehicle outside. Hands full, he climbed the already well known route to the flat. Using his nose, he rang the door bell, Chuck laughed as he heard the scrabbling of a dog on the other side. The saddle pads and chew toy hadn't been wrapped, but he had hidden the necklace in the picnic box in a velvet case.
