"Happy birthday mummy!" Caroline and John embraced their mother. It was her 35th birthday. "Oh thank you kids" Jackie smiled, unwrapping the presents they had laid out for her.

Jack sat looking on. Earlier that day, he had given her expensive jewellery and works of art. She cherished them all.

When the children left to get dressed, Jackie joined her husband on the sofa.

"Happy birthday kid" Jack kissed his wife. "Thank you bunny" Jackie smiled. "For everything". Jack blushed, he had never heard such loving praise from his wife.

"Don't stop thanking me" Jack joked. Jackie giggled, before Jack dropped some keys into her open hand. She looked at them.

"Jack?" Jackie looked at the key. On the ring, there was a metal plate. On which the address: 1 Oak Spring Road, Upperville was engraved on.

"What's this?" Jackie was curious. She had never heard of Upperville before.
"It's a key to a house" Jack held his wife's hand.

"But where?" Jackie asked.
"It's a large estate in Virginia. In the Fauquier County. I bought it off the Mellons" Jack explained to his curious wife.

"Bunny Mellon?" Jackie asked. Jack nodded. "And her husband" he added. Jackie smiled. "Thank you" she embraced him before kissing him again.

"I've arranged for a private tour for you in two days" Jack said, before Jackie helped him up off the sofa. Jackie smiled.

"I'm looking forward to it" Jackie smiled, before she walked with her husband to their bedrooms.
