I walked into our bedroom to see Justin sitting at the edge of the room with his back to the wall, a small gray metal box in his lap. The cover of it faced me, with two stars hand-scratched into it. Probably from a knife, if the rough edges spoke truthfully.

“What’s that?” I strolled toward him, my curiosity piqued.

Justin glanced up at me and then back down to the box. “When I was a kid, me and my best friend each had one of these.” He tapped the edge of it, the gray metal tinging, and then grinned up at me. “We thought we could use it to share things.”

I frowned and sat beside him. Inside the box were a few packages of weeds carefully labeled, a tiny bit of gold and a few slips of paper with silly words scrawled on them.

I reached in and pushed a few things around with the tip of a finger. “What do you mean share things?”

He laughed. “Well, in our infinite wisdom, we believed because we both scratched the same design into the lid, that the boxes would be linked. For instance, if he put something in his box, it would appear in mine. And of course, vice versa.” He flashed me another grin. “You can imagine our disappointment the first time we tried it.”

I laughed softly and pushed the lid closed. “You should show Bear sometime. He’d like that story.”

He put the box to the side and pulled me onto his lap, kissing me hard.
