Gift Wrapped

Jenny and her partner Norah have been together for over two years. On the surface, they have what looks to be the perfect arrangement. Jenny is a biology professor at the local university, while Norah still lives off her trust fund from her famous father and pens a popular blog. But the holiday season always manages to stress both women out.

When Jenny can't find the one gift she wanted for Norah, she finds her resolve and holiday spirit cracking. This was supposed to be a special Christmas for both of them in a new place with a new outlook on their lives together. Luckily, though, Norah has already planned ahead. Sensing Jenny's dilemma, Norah has prepared the perfect gift for Jenny to unwrap -- and then rewrap -- for the holiday season: herself.
