"Well, I suppose it'll free up some space in my bag," Kate joked, even though her bag did actually look pretty full. She opened it and wrangled out a less than neatly wrapped package. It was hard to put paper on things that were soft and wrapped up as tightly as possible so they'd fit in her bag, okay?

The contents of said gift were soft and grey and likely to amuse Kate.

"Admittedly," she said as she handed it over, "my decision to buy that may have been influenced by wanting to make you wear that before I steal it from you. Happy ten-month anniversary. And Valentine's Day."
