Edith quickly changed the topic to avoid his guess, “Do you remember what day it is tomorrow?”

“What day?”

“Your own birthday, you goof!” Edith was exasperated. “It’s the perfect day to invite Jane out and introduce her to your childhood buddies.”

“Oh.” Gregory was indifferent. “I forgot. We’ll see.”

“What do you mean we’ll see?”

After ensuring it was dry, he folded it neatly and placed it on the bedside table, right next to an ugly, but sentimentally valuable, bunny piggy bank.

It was a piggy bank from twenty years ago, handmade by her.

And now, another one, twenty years later, also handmade by her.
