How on earth are you supposed to be able to keep a birthday present secret when you live with someone? When you share you life so closely with them? When they're your boyfriend, partner, housemate and friend, all rolled into one. I would have managed it if I'd been able to buy it in town. But it was impossible to get locally, so I had to order it online. And if I'd known that parcels here always come before 8am, when I'm either not in, or am half asleep, then I would have arranged for it to be delivered to a friend's house. But no. Sigh. He doesn't know exactly what it is. He just recognised the label on the package, and my refusal to tell him what I'd been spending money on, confirmed it's birthday essence.
