Love Name
“Felicity?” said Oliver, softly, after everyone else had left. “I have something for you.”
She eyed the crumpled paper bag he held out, with fond exasperation. “What did you break this time?”
“No, it’s for you,” he repeated, and she frowned for a moment before she opened the bag to reveal a small brown-furred teddy bear.
“Oliver?” she asked. “Is it my birthday?”
He smiled. “No. But I made this and I thought-”
“You made this?” Felicity interrupted, examining the stuffed animal more closely. “Like, you took some fabric and stuffing and came up with this little guy?”
“Yes,” said Oliver.
“With a needle and thread?”
“Yes.”
“You can sew?”
He smiled. “Felicity, you’ve watched me give myself stitches.”
“That is a very different operation,” she protested. “No pun intended. This is… It’s so cute.”
“I just followed the pattern,” said Oliver. “I was really more interested in the process. Having something to do with my hands, something just a little complicated, something delicate. Something I created. And when I was done… I thought you might like him.”
“I love him,” said Felicity. “I’m going to call him ‘Oliver’. Unless he already has a name?”
“No, he doesn’t,” he said. “But there’s this superstition I heard, that if you make someone a teddy bear and they name it after you, that person will love you forever.”
“Yeah?” she said. “Oliver it is, then.”
He laughed and kissed her.
