Kit entered Higher for Hire, hiding something
behind his back as he approached Rebecca’s desk. He grinned from ear to ear.
“Hello, Kit,” Rebecca greeted him. “What’s that?”
“Oh… just a little something,” he replied. He presented her with a pink heart-shaped
box.
“Oh, Kit, for me?”
“Happy Valentine’s Day, Ms. Cunningham.”
“How sweet!
I don’t know what to say… thank
you.”
Kit ducked his head. “Aw, don’t mention it.”
Rebecca shook the box. “Chocolates? Candy?”
Kit started to back away. “Uh, you’ll see… look, I gotta be going now.
Have a good one!”
She shook her head and smiled as he abruptly
hurried out of the building. Oh, he’s just being shy, she thought.
Kit ran at full steam, imagining Rebecca opening
her present. When he was a block down
the street, that’s when he heard it:
EEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!
Kit fell to the ground, laughing. That had to be the most worthwhile trip to
the bait shop he ever took…
The
End… ?
