Her sense of accomplishment grew as more outfits that she had made for him were added to his wardrobe from time to time.
In the accessory cabinet, there were watches, tie clips, cufflinks, and more, all chosen by her for him...
There were several oil paintings hanging on the wall that she had painted as portraits for him, and every time he'd sit as a human model for an hour or two, he never complained about boredom.
Before bed, she had gotten used to playing a few songs for him to listen to, which she had composed and made into sheet music, spread on the piano stand.
His regularly used coffee mug was ceramic—one that she had made herself!
Every day, he returned from work and received a new gift from her as a surprise.
These daily gifts varied: books, clay figurines, coffee mugs, drawings on stones... and so on.
Except for the globe and those shoes, she no longer hid the "I love you" messages on other small items she gave him.
