Brian saw her looking, so he stretched his neck for Holly to see that there weren’t any marks. “Not fatal. I think I had the element of surprise.”
They walked past a confectionary store and the scent of chocolate wafted to their noses. A week after Christmas and already the display was full of Valentine’s themed candy available for pre-order, which was a jolt to his sense of time and a sigil of depressing times to come. It had never bothered him before, but he had a new reason for the holiday to make him hate life, because he had already bought Valerie a locket.
“I blew out some windows. Turns out glass is a decent deterrent.” It was an oversimplified version of events, but he figured Holly would get the picture: they had come to a détente. “She only came after me to get at Valerie.”
