“What about this?” I asked Abby, holding up a paper lantern.

“Oooh, that’s actually pretty.”

“You say it like I’ve only been suggesting ugly stuff.”

Her lips puckered. “It hasn’t all been ugly.” I felt proud of myself, until she added, “Some of it’s been hideous.”

I walked past and yanked on her braid. It started on one side of her head and wrapped around to the other. The tail hung over her shoulder in the front. “Where’d you learn how to do this?” I tickled her nose with the tips of her hair, then kept rifling through shelves of junk. We were in the valentine section at the Mega Party Superstore.

“My sister taught me.”

“How many sisters do you have?”

“Three. One older and two younger.”

It dawned on me how little I knew about Abby. “Four girls, huh? That’s a handful. Any brothers?”

“Nope. How about you?”

“Only child.”

“That’s kind of sad,” she said.

“It is, isn’t it?”

I looked over my shoulder to find her taking a picture of a glass swan. She put it down and started texting someone. “Do you see anything that might make a nice centerpiece?” she asked without making eye contact.

“You mean for the tables?”

“No, for the bathrooms,” she replied sarcastically. “Yes, for the tables, silly.”

I scanned the selection. “All this stuff is cheesy. What if we put a big bowl of chocolate kisses in the middle? Then people can kiss each other all night without making everyone else feel uncomfortable.”

She cocked her head to the side and stared at me, or rather through me, lost deep in thought. Right as her eyes started to glass over, she shook her head. “The pun was lame, but the idea was decent. I think we should keep it on the list of possibilities.”

I grinned smugly. “I told you I could be helpful.”

She smirked back. “Yes, yes. You’re finally earning your keep.”

Her phone dinged, and she started texting again. I tried to peek over her shoulder without being obvious, but I couldn’t see who she was messaging. My curiosity was killing me. Whoever it was, they’d kept her completely distracted since we walked in the store.

I rounded the corner to the next aisle and came face-to-face with a giant blow-up monkey. It was holding a red heart that said I’m bananas for you. I snickered and called out, “Hey, Abby. I found your centerpiece.”

She wandered over with her nose in her phone, fingers flying across the keyboard. When she finally looked up, she choked out an oh my gosh and laughed. “That’s hilarious. Stand next to it.” I put my arm around the monkey, and she snapped a picture. Then she sent it to the mysterious recipient.

I couldn’t take it anymore. “Who are you sending those to?” I had a feeling I already knew the answer, but I hoped I was wrong. “Sam?”

“No, Garland. I felt bad he couldn’t come with us, so when he texted me, I told him I’d send pictures before we picked anything.”

“How nice of you.” I flashed a fake smile and muttered under my breath, “Wouldn’t want Garland to feel left out on my date.
