Oh, and...” She reached into the bag at her side and pulled out a Valentine’s Day card to offer to her with a happy smile. It was a very sparkly blue card with fish and coffee stickers and lots of hearts. In elegant cursive, she wrote: To: Percy, From: Carina. Happy Valentine’s! You’re a wonderful friend. “This.”
