I scoop Tessa up and button her into a delightfully cheery bright yellow polka dot jacket, and marvel, again, at how absolutely beautiful she is. Fat in all the right places, a tiny sprig of strawberry blonde hair popping up, slate blue eyes that change to grey when she is angry, and pale blue when she is sad. She is a rare beauty, of that I am sure.

I turn to see Gregory watching me. He says nothing, but he is quietly interested as I move about, gathering the grocery list and an envelope with cash with my free hand. I wonder if he notices that I am wearing the perfume he likes. It was a perfume I discovered two decades ago at a discount novelty store. I wore it faithfully as my signature fragrance for years. Light and airy, it sings of unfettered romance. It was not an expensive fragrance, nor was it popular, but I never received so many compliments on any fragrance I had ever worn. Sometimes, I would find a bottle on a shelf in a little discounted store, and I would pick it up. I have an unopened bottle tucked in my drawer. It had been years since I had worn it last, hiding it away, more often than not, wearing nothing. On special occasions, I would spray a bit of Coco Mademoiselle Chanel, which Gregory never cared for, but I loved. Today, I am wearing Gregory's favorite, and as he moves closer to me, I am sure he notices.
