I was going to wait until your birthday, but I can’t wait. ”Slowly, Rachel lifted the top of the 　15　. Laid out in front of her were all of the quarters from her coin collection. Each quarter was in its own 　16　 in a ‎ new collection case. Each quarter shone like it was new. ‎ Rachel felt 　17　 rush over her neck and ears. She said 　18　 , “Thank you! This means. . . a great deal to me. ”She was grateful that Eric had cut her 　19　 before she said something she would 　20　. Eric was exactly the type of person she wanted as a friend! ‎ ‎1.
