It's warm, where they are. Warmer than Siberia, but then again, where isn't it warmer than Siberia

Rogue has been playing with Finn, watching him chase and pounce a piece of tinsel from the tree, before she finally deciding to go to bed. She hasn't been expecting anything or for him to remember, not with all they'd been dealing with in the last month or so.

But there is the rose and the necklace and Rogue can't stop the few tears from sliding down her cheeks. She notices the design and how it matches her bracelet, the one she tries to never take off.

"Oh Erik..." She wonders if he's noticed the black hat with flaps that she'd placed on the desk, with the matching scarf and glove set beside them.

The necklace is beautiful and she stands in front of the mirror, admiring the way it sits against her neck. She can't stop smiling. She's never regretted accepting his offer of a date and she doubts she ever will.

Erik walks in, and catches her admiring the gift in the window. "Thank you for the hat, Anna," he says, smiling at her reflection. "I will keep it for the next place we go that is cold." He walks up behind her and put his arms around her, kissing her on the top of her head.

"You thought I was going to forget, didn't you."

Anna smiles at their reflections. "We've been busy...yeah. I did." She turns, wrapping her arms around his waist and pressing her face into his chest. "I'm glad ya didn't."

"Thank you for my necklace. Its beautiful."

He rubs her back, holding her close, smoothing a hand down her hair. "You're welcome." He made it slide against her briefly, caressing her with the metal. "Some women get diamonds. You get titanium. I am glad you appreciate it." He laughs. "I have a Christmas gift for you, but this location is as much a gift to you as anything."
