"Well," he begins, in the tone of voice that speaks of feeling very encouraged and pleased to announce this, "it appears you think that I needed a little help relaxing, it seems, because you gave me a bottle of kahlua," he says, which had been quite the lovely thing to open. "Maybe my gift to you ought to be half the bottle," he says, seeing as he hasn't even opened it up yet in order to enjoy it, and it's the perfect drink to sip and enjoy with friends. "I mean, if we had more, we could make some really incredible martinis out of it," he says, his mind drifting away to dream of a time and place where he can just run to the store to pick up anything he wants, if it's missing.

Then again, a little bit of kahlua over ice never goes wrong and they have plenty of that, these days.
