[the book, wrapped in tissue paper and then kraft paper, is a signed first-edition copy of time exposure by william henry jackson. another note's tucked into the jacket, dated 5/5/23:]
I'm gonna keep forgetting to give you this, it's just some stuff you might like? That made me think of you. Or you drinking your way across the country I guess.
But in a good way.

Hi Ru,
Happy birthday. Got you something just how you like it (old as dirt). Jackson's the guy who took all those pics of Yellowstone when it was only maybe gonna be a park? And then the gov was like "Holy shit y'all these photos are fucking neat. Yeah ok sure let's make national parks a thing startin THERE."
You probably already know that but whatever
Sorry I'm not there to help you celebrate, I'll make it up to you next year. Hope it's a good one anyways.

Hi Rufus! I'm sorry to spring this on you out of the blue and so last minute, but how would you feel about co-leading tomorrow's exploration with me? I could use a right hand man with your level of expertise.
[the boston fire department 2003 calendar that evan gave to rory. if rufus opens to the page with a post-it sticking out, he's met with a buzzcut-having and bare-faced 26-year-old rory cheesing for the camera. apart from the turnouts barely clinging to his hips (#classic), the photo features rory and a golden retriever puppy lay in a bed of fake flowers. (sorry, the budget was tight. hence the calendar and all.)

For your spank bank.

i've decided that you n my bff beating on each other ain't actually as hot as it sounds so can i opt out of details
For about the past week and a half or so, both Scrap the chipmunk and Evan have been following Rufus around. (Evan, much less so than her counterpart, who is small and inconspicuous.) Has she been at the cafe with a newspaper, sunglasses, and hat? Yes. Has she followed him in a trench coat? (No, only because she doesn't have one. But she did wear a scarf and a really nice red lipstick to blend in. If that counts as blending in.)
The chipmunk has been ceaseless, but if Rufus has looked in Evan's direction at any point, she's squawked and scattered like a pigeon on a sidewalk.
Do with this what you will.

i'm gonna need emotional support in a real big way tomorrow so get your emotional support shorts pressed and ready.
[a vase of wildflowers looking this-ish, a little leather keychain, and a somewhat vandalized/scandalized card that rory took 15 minutes to pick out at stamp of approval before he brought it home to 'customize.' inside reads:]
Cause I decided we've got plans tonight.
xoxxxxxx

PS Keychain ain't related. Just cute.

hi. [...] given the whole "we're partners and we've got a right to know what stuff's going on with each other" thing there's a couple things i reckon i oughta tell you. one of em's gonna get your concerned face going and idk if i can deal with that right now, like from the getgo. so i wanna tell you here first and you can think about whatever and then if you REALLY want to frown all thoughtfully at me after i'll let you.
but if that's cool with you, idk which to start with so choose like... past or future. pretend we're playing with a cootie catcher idk
