"What'd you get?" Jason asked with a poorly hidden smirk on his face.

"100. Obviously."
His grin spread impossibly wide and he even had the nerve to cackle as Janie's jaw clenched. Then his laughter ceased as he noticed the single tear she tried to brush away discretely.
"Come on, don't do that. I already know what you got anyway and I have the perfect hat for you."
From behind his back he produced a clear box containing a single hat-shaped cookie the size of his fist.
