Polly smiled. “I am glad.”

“He keeps sending me selfies of the cat on his shoulder or hiding in his sleeve.”

Polly chuckled.

“So, why are you storing these here?”

“Because my security system sucks, and I am running out of space at Minoru’s.”

“How many do you have so far?”

She paused and counted, “This set makes eighteen.”

He chuckled. “So, you are nearing two hundred thousand dollars then. Possibly more depending on the craftsmanship of the silk.”

She paused as he slotted the boxes into the frame. “You are joking.”

“Nope. Each one of these is worth between ten and sixty thousand dollars.”

“Holy fuck. Why would they give them to me?” She shrieked.

“Because you are Minoru’s bride. I think the kimono makers are going insane with glee. You are probably supporting entire villages right now.”

She blushed and stared at the stack of polished boxes that contained half of her collection. “Uh, what is the return policy on this stuff?”

“Non-existent. Just enjoy them.” Loki laughed.

“That is going to take a lot of personal focus.”

He ruffled her hair and sat on her bed. “So, when does Minoru come home?”

“Uh, a few more days.”

“How soon is the wedding?”

“About a month away.” She bit her lip.

“Getting excited?”

“Nervous. Really nervous.”

Her boss smirked. “Well, your work doesn’t show it. So, when are you having the bachelorette?”

“Ah. Not.”

“What? I thought it was a beta right of passage.”

“Not for me. I am not into that kind of thing. The thought of strippers leaves me cold.”

“Well, that isn’t the desired result.” He narrowed his eyes. “Leave this with me.”

She packed her overnight bag and got her computer. “Right, well, I am going to go cuddle with my favourite guy.”

Loki chuckled. “I am telling Minoru.”

“Go ahead. Jiji is his favourite anyway.” She laughed and slid her computer into her bag.

She headed out, got in her crappy car, and headed over to Minoru’s.
