d. her wish to buy a Christmas present for Jim  

The following lines from the story give the answer to the question.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

“We are all searching for someone whose demons play well with ours.”

― Rea Frey

“I made constant deals with myself, as though these deals would culminate in some life-changing event: If there are five babies on the plane, it won’t crash. If I just say yes to this client, I’ll get into Forbes. If the light turns green when I count to three, I won’t complain for the rest of the day. If I don’t eat dessert today, I can have Mexican tomorrow.”

― Rea Frey

“I’ve always been good at keeping secrets—other people’s secrets, friends’ secrets, family secrets, strangers’ secrets. But I’m even better at creating secrets. No one ever guesses them … even if I beg them to try.”

― Rea Frey
