When I get home, there’s a package on the doorstep. I pick it up and take it in with me. Inside is a wooden box with a gold clasp. I flick it up and open the lid. There’s a piece of paper inside with a note from Mimi that reads: You might not find it easy to talk about your memories, but you shouldn’t keep them in. This is a memory box. Write down your memories and put them in here.

It physically hurts to read it. Because she’s right, but I don’t know how.

When I lift up the note, there’s a little book underneath called Penis Pokey. My initial reaction is confusion, the two gifts like clashing colours, but then I open it and on the inside cover, Mimi has written: Just because it was all getting a bit serious ! x

I smile as I scroll through the pages, a range of pictures with a hole in each one. I text Mimi.

Thank you for the thoughtful gifts. Who knew my penis made such a convincing banana? Xx

Then, because I suddenly can’t bear the thought of a whole evening on my own, thoughts of Mum whirring around my head like a tornado, I text her again.

Do you fancy coming over?
