"I want t'say 'hi' t'Johnny. But I'll come home after."
"Alright," I say, and really I'm glad I'll have a minute alone with Glass, because she doesn't seem quite herself. I hesitate briefly, but then I think - everyone knows, so why shouldn't I? - and I very briefly touch my lips to Tess's cheek. "I'll see you at home."
Glass and I walk down the street.
"Are you alright today, Glass?" I ask as we go. "You seem a touch - unsettled," and then we are at my front door and my smile is lifting up at the sight of the ribbons on the door handle. I laugh with my hand over my mouth. "Oh, she remembered," I say, and I'm blushing, but not with embarrassment. I gather myself and look back at Glass. "It was a tradition, where I grew up," I say. "On Valentine's Day. I told Tess about it." I open the door and we go in, and I set the kettle on the stove.
