I too loved the opening scene and felt the characters reaction was perfect. I also loved the closing scene with the conversation in bed. Now please have the opening scene in the next section having them opening presents. Depending on the presents it could be priceless especially since Jimmy alluded to something about Clark's gift.
I too will be sad to see the story end and hope that you don't cut too much. I salute you for your effort with this story. A great story.
