Mailbox - Holiday Gift

[One day during the winter vacation, Steven will find that a book has been delivered to his cabin, along with a can of sardines and a message scribbled on a piece of paper torn out of a notebook:]

Steven,

Thanks for before. I got this for you.

The sardines are for that lion of yours. I don't know what he likes, but my cat likes these, so... you know. In any case, tell him thanks too.

-Rita Mordio


[The book included with the note is titled Beyond the Sky: Perspectives of Space, a science book focused on astronomy that seems to be written for laymen and has a fair amount of illustrations and diagrams. It seems to be from some version of Earth, but some details may be different from his universe. Rita, of course, wouldn't have noticed those differences.]
