A few weeks or so has passed since the last time (Y/n) had run into Jacob. She never spoke a word about him to her parents, knowing them, they will completely lose it if they knew about her meetings with the enemy of the Templars. And if Starrick were to find out, he would be worse than furious and no doubt call the marriage off. She had visited her fiancé or when out with him, they never really talked about anything and if they were at any events together, he mostly talked to business partners while she is left to the side to listen to the other wives talk amongst one another. But whenever she was out and about on her own either in the Strand or City of London or even in Southwark or Westminster, she would hope to catch a glimpse of the assassin's top hat or long black coat but to no avail, she has seen a steady rise of Rooks though and she scolded herself for thinking that a man like him would have the time for a girl like her. But she always felt as if she didn't thank him properly that night he escorted her home and she wanted to show her appreciation somehow.

      So one day while she was out shopping at the markets, she stopped by the different vendors and shops before her eyes instantly caught glimpses of what could be the perfect gift for him. (Y/n) walked up to one shop that was selling different types of blades, she never imagined herself ever walking into a shop like this with such deadly weapons but she noticed that Jacob carried a kukri on his belt one time during their second meeting. She pointed to one of the most expensive but most deadliest kukris out of all the other blades of its type. The shop owner looked surprised that a young woman like her would buy such a thing, at such a high price too but never questioned it. He wrapped it carefully in a silk cloth before tying it off with a string before handing it to her after she gave him the proper payment. After that she walked to a blacksmith and told him to engrave the blade with a specific design. She then walked to a cloth store and requested a personal handkerchief to be made with the finest material they had. Once that was done, she went to a bakery and ordered an assortment of cookies and buns. She spent money left and right for just a few things and she didn't mind spending all of it because she was rich after all, the only time she was grateful that she was. The blacksmith has finished with the engravings and she paid him before taking all of her purchases back home.

      (Y/n) made sure that her parents didn't see what she had bought as she rushed up to her room, requesting one of the maids to grab her a basket and a ribbon. Once she had the materials, she began to set up the basket with the pastries, wrapped kukri and newly made handkerchief folded neatly in a box. She took a step back and wondered if this was appropriate for her to have spent this much on a man she just met and if she was going over the top. She believed she was, but the young woman could care less as she grabbed a piece of paper and pen as she wrote a note before placing it into the basket. (Y/n) let out a satisfied hum as she made sure the basket was presentable and began to wonder how she was going to get it to him. Tapping her chin as she looked out her bedroom window, she saw some Rooks passing by and grinned. She quickly threw her veil hat on and grabbed the basket, carefully but quickly making her way out of her house to avoid questions from her parents and walking up to the Rooks, "Excuse me!" She called out as they stopped and looked back at her, looking at her in confusion because of her thick veil so they couldn't see her face.

      " 'ello, miss," One greeted with a tip of her hat, "What can we do you for?"

      "Well, I have a small request of you four if you don't mind? I'll pay, whatever the price." She said as the four Rooks looked at one another before nodding.

      "What's the request?" The same Rook asked as (Y/n) blushed under her veil as she looked at the basket and pursed her lips.

      "So uhm..." She murmured rather embarrassed, "I-I have a gift for your boss, Mr. Frye? To show my appreciation for saving me twice." She stammered, "A-And I was wondering if you would be able to give this to him straightaway. Th-There's fresh buns and cookies in there so I don't want them to spoil." She stammered, blushing darkly under her veil. The Rooks looked at her and at the basket, based on how she fidgeted rather nervously, they could tell that that she liked their boss and didn't want to admit it, they didn't have to see the dark blush on her face to know this. The female Rook smiled and chuckled, gently taking the basket from her arms.

      "Of course, miss. We'll be sure to give this to the boss straightaway, no payment needed." She said as the Rooks nodded with smiles. (Y/n) looked at them in surprise.

      "Really?" She said as the female Rook nodded.

      "Of course, seeing how happy he'll be to see a gift such as this is enough repayment." She said as the young woman smiled.

      "Thank you, thank you very much." She said as they nodded before walking off to deliver the gift basket right away. (Y/n) watched them with her hands clasped together in front of her face, hoping that he gets the gift and that he likes it.

      Hours passed as the Twins board Bertha, both rather tired from the mission they had. They reached the cart where all their clues and missions hung up on the wall and both slumped down on the couch. "Finally, I've longed to be back here to get a nice shut eye." Jacob groaned tiredly while stretching back on the couch as his eyes closed. Evie sighed with a nod.

      "I agree. A cup of tea would be lovely right about now." She sighed as Agnes walked in, a wide smirk on her face.

      "Oi, Mister and Miss Frye," She said with her thick Scottish accent, "Some of the Rooks had dropped off a present for you while you were gone. Addressed to Mister Frye specifically." She said, making the younger twin's eye open in question as his sister looked at him in confusion.

      "A present... For me?" He asked while sitting up as Agnes nodded as she picked up the gift basket and showed him. Both of the twin's eyebrows shot up in shock at the amount of goods that was for Jacob specifically.

      "All of that for this brute?" Evie asked while pointing at her brother, "What'd you do to get this?" She asked in disbelief as Jacob looked at her with the same amount of disbelief on his face.

      "I'm just as surprised as you are." He said before looking at Agnes and standing up, walking over to her with Evie following after him, "Did they say who it was from?" He asked as Agnes hummed.

      "Aye, they said that this young lady wearing a veil hat had asked them to deliver it. They said they couldn't really see her face too well since the lace of the veil was so thick, but they knew she was all flustered about it when she requested them to deliver it for her." Agnes said before smirking at Jacob's reaction when his eyes widened even more, "I believe you have a secret admirer, Mr. Frye." Evie couldn't help the soft snicker.

      "Jacob? Having a secret admirer? That's a good one." She said as Jacob set the basket down on the desk and lifted the cloth and his heart melted right then and there.

      "Are these Chelsea buns?" He questioned in shock, picking a bun up and taking a bite out of it and groaning softly in content, "Dear god, Miss (L/n), you are a heaven sent...." He murmured softly with a mouth full of the pastry. Evie facepalmed at her brother.

      "Really, the pastries is all you're worried about?" She asked as Jacob shot her a look.

      "Keep your knickers on I'm getting to it." He said and she slapped his arm in retaliation, making him snicker and scarf the bun down. Once swallowing it all down, he picked up the object that was wrapped and tied, it felt a bit heavy in his hands but lightweight at the same time. He carefully unwrapped it and he couldn't help the grin that graced his lips as Evie, Henry (who had just joined in) and Agnes' eyes widened.

      "Oh my goodness, that is a very nice kukri." Henry said in awe as Jacob gripped the blade by the handle and gave it a few testing swings before studying the engraving of a Rook holding a chess piece.

      "Oh yes, definitely my all time favorite." He said, beaming like a child on Christmas as he replaced his old kukri with his new one. He then got the small box and opened it, revealing a green silk made handkerchief with the initials J.F. On one of the corners of the cloth, "Bloody hell, how much did she spend? She's spoiling me!" Jacob exclaimed.

      "Who is this person, Jacob?" Evie asked while taking the handkerchief from him to study it, Henry reached to take a cookie and Jacob swiftly slapped his hand away as he picked up a small envelope that was tucked neatly amongst the pastries.

      "A young woman I saved twice," Jacob said as he opened the envelope to pull out a piece of paper, "She's part of the upper class." Evie looked at him in surprise.

      "Really?" She asked as Jacob opened the paper and began to read, eating another Chelsea bun as he ate with his companions reading the letter too over his shoulder.

Dear Mr.Frye,

      I know you said that there was no need to repay you for all that you did for me. But I felt like it was selfish of me to have you save me twice and not give anything to you in return. Honestly, it was difficult trying to figure out what to get you. But I had noticed that you carried a kukri on your belt so I got you the sharpest and strongest one that the shop had before having it engraved. And I'm also pretty sure I had ruined your handkerchief with my tears that one night and I felt bad about that, so I got a new one made for you with the finest material the shop had. And I also got you pastries! Hopefully, you like cookies and Chelsea buns. I've always enjoyed Chelsea buns when I was younger and these are freshly made. I'm not sure if I had gone over the top with the present since we've only met on two separate occasions and it's been a few weeks since we last met, I've never done this sort of thing before. But I do hope you like what I had gifted you because this is me showing my appreciation to you. Please, don't mind how much I spent because it's nothing, really. Thank you for being the nicest person I've met since arriving in London and I hope we get to meet again someday!

Sincerely,
(Your Initials)

      Jacob can't help the dopey grin on his face as his eyes scanned over the words written in neat and beautiful handwriting. Evie, Henry, and Agnes smile at the sweet letter and look at Jacob as he himself can't stop from grinning. "This young lady sounds like a lovely person, brother dearest." Evie said as Jacob nodded.

      "She really is, sweet sister." He said as he falls back on the couch, eyes never leaving the words on the letter.

      "Obviously, you two have a thing for each other." Henry said with a smile while crossing his arms.

      "Oh god I hope she does." He said with a wider grin.

      "You should go after her!" Agnes suggested as Evie and Henry nod in agreement. Jacob's grin falters a bit as he, shoulders slumping as he had a rather disappointed look on his face, "I would love to—but..." He trailed off and this made the three look at him in confusion.

      "What's the matter, Jacob?" Evie asked as he looked up at them.

      "She has a fiancé." He said, this took a moment for them to process before their eyes widened.

      "What?!" They exclaimed.
