I remember waking up, after Knickolas, because I never wake up before him. But he had already gone out for an early shift, as he so often does, so none of that was unusual. Ah! But I remember that he left me a gift on my vanity. It was - oh, it was -
[They have to think just a touch too long to remember, before it hits them.]
Oh! It was this little brooch, the one on my hat? The beaded moth? I remember thinking it so strange he left it without a note, but it was such a gorgeous gift, I simply had to wear it, even before I got to thank him.
