He should have known she would remember. She always remembered. “What is it?” he asked cautiously. And with good reason. One year, she’d gotten him a gift certificate for a spa treatment that had turned out to be for a male Brazilian wax.

“You already got yours,” Hero told him.
Kevin whined.
“I’ll tell you what,” Hero told him. “If you sit, maybe I’ll share.”
Kevin offered a paw.
