“Your—your lemon tea, miss.” The waiter put the cup on the table nervously, his eyes darting between the two before leaving. Even then, he kept turning back to look at them.

Gifter: Larissa Seymour (hereinafter referred to as Party A”)

The gift was precisely the house that they lived in after their marriage.
