A few hours later, Thomas slowly wakes up, his senses telling him he's in a foreign bed. It takes a moment but soon he realizes where he is and glances at a clock. Past 4am. Damn, time to sneak home.
He briefly considers waking Sarah up to say good night, but she looked so happy and peaceful there that he couldn't bring himself to do it. Instead he carefully untangles himself from her and quietly gets dressed before disappearing back to the manor.
In the morning she'll find a small crystal figurine of a fox curled up and asleep in a meadow. Underneath is a birthday note signed with a scrawled R with the address (but not the combination) of a safe somewhere in the city. He'd left the last part of his gift there because he didn't consider it one. Inside she'll find a picture of what look like medical notes on a patient, dated about a week before her birthday. His proof for her that the Fox was still alive.
