Chapter 216: The Kind Of Family She Wanted

Shopping for Alex had been difficult because most of what he liked seemed to be directly related to food and Claire had already filled his stocking with snacks. She ended up primarily getting him clothes because he owned so few of them but also got him a thousand-piece puzzle and a few board games she didn't already own. 

The Oreo pajamas had by far been the most sentimental gift she had gotten for him but he didn't seem to mind. He looked quite pleased with all of his presents. 

Claire's presents from Alex included cookie cutters, an illustrated plant guide, a new pair of running shoes, and some anime merch from shows they had watched together. Once again she was touched by his thoughtfulness.
