The unplanned gift

 I was just cleaning up something in our clothes wardrobe when I am surprised to see a book laying around among the spare hangers on the bottom shelf.  It seems one of the business type of books Jan reads, so I put it at his night stand. 

He's totally surprised by it. I am totally surprised by his surprise but I tell him that the clothes wardrobe is no place to hold books.  He agrees but he doesn't know the book at all. I surely never read it.

It still holds a sticker of the Standaard Boekhandel where I sometimes buy books.


...

Faintly I remember I had to use some sort of voucher before it expired. Faintly I remember buying gifts and hiding gifts. 
Maybe I bought this book for Jan to give to him for Christmas.  Maybe I hid it and never wrapped it.  Maybe I never gave the gift and totally forgot about it since truly that's not the place where I tend to hide presents. (Yet my hiding spot is mostly for hiding presents for the children and Jan would know it).



Anyway, I guess I just gave Jan an unplanned, unexpected gift for vacation reading, unwrapped with the price sticker still on it.  Hope it's a good book :p.
