Iuse the pocket watch to travel directly to Cupiō’s home, already wearing my outfit for the night. A simple black dress shirt, black belt, and slacks.

Candy is in the kitchen fussing about the way his pantry is disorganized, while wearing a sparkling pink ballgown.

“Candy, don’t you need to head to the party?” I ask, startling her as she moves around some soup cans.

“Goodness, you scared me Gloom. Oh, yes. I’ll go shortly,” she says and I can see right through her pink exterior.

“Are you nervous?” I ask her, and she puts the soup can down and sits down in her poofy, pink dress. I shut the door behind me and join her on the floor in solidarity.

“Am I that obvious? It’s just, there’s going to be a lot of new people there, far more beautiful cupids to choose from. Ones who aren’t neurotic, clean for fun, or accidentally made a man fall in love with a pool toy.”

“Do you know how many reapers would find that absolutely charming?” I tell her.

Her big pink eyes are welling with tears. This cupid is too soft for me, but I can list off five reapers who I might introduce her to at the event.

“Are all reapers as sweet as you?” she asks.

“Definitely not.”

She smiles at that and shakes her head. “Alright, I guess I ought to get off the floor and stop using the FIFO method for all the Head Cupid’s non-perishables. Any advice on how to get a reaper’s attention?”

“Honestly? Just be yourself and don’t be afraid to go up to one of them and talk. Most of them are probably just as nervous as you.”

“Thanks, Gloom,” she says as the pantry door opens and Cupiō looks between the both of us. It probably looks like I made the poor cupid that cleans his house cry, but Cupiō clearly knows her better than I do.

“Candy, go to the party. I promise it’s not as scary as it seems,” he says to her and I fall a little harder for the giant softy.

“I’ll see you both there,” she says, standing up and popping out of existence.

I get off the pantry floor and inspect Cupiō. He’s wearing an all pink suit I might find ridiculous on any other man, but it suits him perfectly. I feel nervous as I pull the sleek black tie from my back pocket and hand it to him.

“Ladybird and I are both wearing black, and I thought you might want to match,” I suggest.

“Help me put it on,” he says, removing his bowtie and leaning forward so I can wrap it around his neck.

My hands tremble slightly, and I just have to talk to calm my nerves. “Is it weird she still cleans your house after all this time?” I ask.

“Not really. I think Candy needs something to keep her busy, and I wanted the house to feel a little less empty.”

I’m looping the tie as I look up at him. “I’m hoping you don’t feel that way for much longer.
