[ 1 ]The frilly pink gloves are surprisingly comfortable. Still embarrassing, though. Completely and utterly embarrassing. I scrub furiously at a particularly crusty plate, and pray no one will come into the tiny niche where the sinks sit.

He tosses a ring of keys onto the counter.
“Lock up, will ya. I'm headin' out early.”
