"Finn, calm down. You're gonna give yourself an aneurism." Aiden kept his voice as soothing as possible, rubbing Finn's shoulders at the kitchen table, where he sat, his head on his crossed arms atop the table top. He glanced up at Aunt Patti who was sipping at her coffee opposite, knowing by the lift of her eyebrows she was trying not to laugh out loud. Sending a quick glare her way, she covered a snigger and went back to reading the newspaper.

Finn and he had been living together for almost a week and today was Friday, otherwise known as Show and Tell Day. His childlike glee at being Kaylee's show and tell had touched Aiden's heart and the last two days had been like living with Tigger on speed. Now the big day had arrived and ten minutes ago Finn's howl had echoed through the house. Monty's hand was missing. For a split second Aiden wondered if there'd been another kidnapping, but quickly shook that thought away when Finn instructed him in no uncertain terms to, 'not go there.' A search of their bedroom hadn't yielded success and by the time they gave up, Finn's mood had gone from fit to be tied to deepest, darkest despair—hence the head on the arms on the table.

"How can I lose a glove?" Finn's voice was muffled and Aiden had to strain to hear him. "What am I supposed to do, keep one hand in my pocket while I talk to the kids? They'll call the police!"

"Are you sure it was with the suit when it came back from the cleaners?" Aiden flinched at the velocity of Finn's affirmation, and shook his head at Patti as her shoulders began to shake behind the newspaper.

"I wanted everything to be perfect for her."

"It will be perfect," Aiden said, pressing a kiss to the back of Finn's neck.

"I'm missing a hand, Aiden. A hand. How is that going to be perfect?"

"Can't you put it in a sling and tell the kids Monty had an accident?" Patti said nonchalantly, not even looking up from the paper.

"Stop helping." Aiden gave his aunt short shrift. Where the fuck can it be? We looked everywhere. A sudden thought skittered across the surface of his mind. "Did it fall out in the car?"

"The car!" Finn bounced to his feet and sprinted from the room, only just managing to side-step Kaylee as she passed him on her way in for breakfast.

"Where's Finn going?" Kaylee asked sleepily, her shoes scuffing on the tiled floor as she all but dragged herself to her seat.

"He's going out to the car," Aiden said, pouring Coco Puffs into a bowl and then opening the fridge to take out the milk. He half-filled the bowl with milk and crossed the room to put it down in front of Kaylee, handing her the spoon he'd taken out of the old Welsh dresser that sat in the corner of the kitchen.

"Why?"

"One of Monty's gloves is missing." Aiden sat down in the chair Finn had vacated and picked up his how lukewarm coffee.
