Mom made heart shaped pancakes for breakfast and even dyed the batter pink with a few drops of red food coloring while Dad hunkered down in his office for his weekly phone call with Grandma Virginia.

“This stuff's poisonous, you know,” Trevor said in his best know-it-all voice as he gestured at the little red bottle of dye. “We learned about it in health class. It causes all sorts of problems.” He sat back in his chair with a smug look on his stupid little face.

“Then don't eat it,” Mom said simply, serving me a giant steaming plate of adorable pink breakfast foods. She'd even cracked the fried eggs into a mold so those were shaped like hearts, too. “How about some of your father's all natural organic five grain breakfast cereal instead?”

Trevor eyed my plate cautiously, his blue eyes narrowing on the smug expression plastered across my face. His sibling rivalry radar was probably pinging, but he had no idea what I'd hit him with. By the time he did, it'd be too late and his crush, a Miss Brittany Simmons, would know that he had a thing for her. Ah, the innocent joys of being in sixth grade.

“Hey Mom,” I said as I slathered my plate in syrup and looked up at her back. She was already dressed for work in a black jumpsuit and pink leather boots, another understated Valentine's Day nod. “Could I talk to you before you leave? It's about Josiah.”

“It's about Josiah,” Chase mimicked with a dramatic sigh, fanning himself with his hands. I didn't bother to retaliate, just smirked and made myself enjoy the secret knowledge that his Moana undies were blowing in the breeze in the front yard. As soon as the school bus pulled up, his annihilation would be complete. As usual, Edwin sat silent in his chair and observed our interactions through the thick lenses of his glasses, his amber eyes taking it all in.

“Of course, honey,” Mom said as she glanced over her shoulder at me, concern etched into every inch of her face. “Is everything okay?” I thought about that for a second, about the wolfsbane and the silver boot.

“Not really.”

Mom pursed her lips and finished serving my brothers while I ate, and then joined me in the living room while the boys argued at the kitchen table about which Pokémon was their favorite. Dad joined us a few seconds later.

“Everything alright?” he asked, pushing his glasses up his nose as I took a deep breath and tried to figure out how to explain this without giving away the fact that Josiah had been here last night. I mean, we hadn't done anything other than kiss, but I still didn't want to share our secret rendezvous with my parents.

“Josiah … confided something in me,” I told them both. “Last night. He borrowed Lincoln's phone,” I added for clarification. Mom nodded and crossed her arms over her chest while Dad tucked his fingers into the front pockets on his jeans and tried to look casual and cool.
