A birthday card was attached to the wrapped gift.

To Axel,

Hello mate, miss me? Before you put that frown on your face, first of all, I am alright. This is not an emergency call for help. Secondly, I am sorry that I haven’t contacted you in a while. Things are just a tad too crazy at my end right now. And just in case you did look at the stamps, yes, I am at Norway at the moment. Don’t ask.

Anyway! This mail is not about me, it’s about you! Happy Birthday to you, my favorite vampire in the world! I wish I could fly here and celebrate with you like the way we used to, I will make it up to you sometime.

Hope you like your present, I know it’s not the same as the real thing, but it’s handy when you are travelling. I have already downloaded some of our favorites in it.

Your best friend,
Elias.
