“I mean, let’s face it, his face is a little scary, right?” “I guess,” I answer.
“But you’re okay with it?” she asks me sweetly. “You’re not too freaked out? Or scared?”
“I’m not freaked out or scared.” I smile.
She nods and looks down at the polar bear on her lap.
I can’t tell whether she believes me or not, but then she gives the polar bear a kiss on the nose and tosses it to me with a little smile.
I think that means she believes me. Or at least that she wants to.
Valentine’s Day
I give Olivia a heart necklace for Valentine’s Day, and she gives me a messenger bag she’s made out of old floppy disks.
Very cool how she makes things like that. Earrings out of pieces of circuit boards. Dresses out of T-shirts. Bags out of old jeans.
She’s so creative. I tell her she should be an artist someday, but she wants to be a scientist.
A geneticist, of all things. She wants to find cures for people like her brother, I guess.
We make plans for me to finally meet her parents. A Mexican restaurant on Amesfort Avenue near her house on Saturday night.
