"So smart and brave. The bravest. You know, for a boy that brave, I'll have to get you a present." He turned Tae around and stroked his hair back, looking at him with a fond smile. "It's your birthday soon, isn't it? I checked your birth date in your file. We'll have to go to the toy store and you can pick out birthday things and one extra gift, a special one, for being my smart boy. I already know what it is."

He had seen it in the store before, he was ready. "Next week, we can go. I'll show you. You just gotta keep being good for me."
