Snow glistened outside, as the temperature dropped below Zero degrees. Maria and Keswick had finally gotten the kids to school, as they were driving home. They were just pulling off out of the High School parking lot, where they had dropped off Stephanie. They were driving home, as Maria had asked the Chief to give them the siku off, which everyone knew why, except for Keswick. “Why did we get the siku off, again?” Keswick gripped onto the wheel. He had no idea what today was, it felt like an ordinary day.
“You’ll find out.” Maria snickered. She knew what today was, and she knew that Keswick forgot. It was February 14th, Valentine’s Day. Keswick looked at Maria suspiciously, then back at the road. Keswick was trying to figure out what was going on, and usually he could, because Maria’s kind of easy to predict, but something just wouldn’t click!
Keswick parked into the driveway, and they both jumped onto the ice on the cement. Keswick started to slip, as he started to lose his balance. Maria slid smoothly over to him. “I thought wewe alisema wewe couldn’t skate.” Keswick said, with a displeasing frown. Maria bit her lip, and answered “Only when I’m using skates” as she stammered. Keswick looked at her suspiciously, and then just alisema “Alright.” He didn’t look very convinced.
Keswick suddenly Lost all the balance he had, and slipped, hitting the ground. “Are wewe alright?!” There was mostly laughter in Maria’s voice, as she grabbed Keswick’s hand it helped him back up. Maria let go of his grasp, and Keswick glided over to the dry cement, trying to keep balance. Maria slid across the ice, snickering at Keswick, as she landed onto the cement.
The two walked inside, shaking their boots off, and unzipping their coats. Keswick hung his kanzu, koti up, still looking oddly at Maria. “What?” Maria said, taking her boots off. Keswick sighed “Nothing…” Keswick said, walking into another room.
Maria looked at him as he walked off, with a bit of worry in her eyes. She walked into the room to see Keswick on the couch, just staring at the ceiling there. Maria walked over to him. “Hey, Kes, what’s wrong?” She asked, a bit of worry in her voice. “I feel like I’m forgetting something.” Keswick sighed. “Something important.” Keswick paused for a moment, then looked up at Maria. “What’s the date?”
