The weather in Portland this weekend is mercifully clement, warm enough for a cold brew but chilly enough for a hot latte. You are spoiled for choice when it comes to overpriced coffee options. Swing through to pick-up a locally sourced pear and ginger tartlet on your way to work or curl up in front of the electric fireplace with a good book and a mug of tea. Don't forget to tip your baristas!

	"Mhmm." Already, Francine is bringing up a picture of Mateo from semi-recent Love Island promo. "Rose petals? Or soccer balls? Perhaps red penalty flags. I could add text along the lines of 'You have fouled my heart.'" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh," Lily laughs a little, caught off guard by the unexpected pun. "Sure, that's fun." She scoots herself behind Francine so she can peer at the laptop monitor. "Oh," Lily says again when she sees the picture that Francine's found. "Wow, I haven't seen that picture in a while." She hasn't seen it since she Googled him when they first started dating.

	"Is the picture not to your liking?" Francine glances over her shoulder at Lily. "The gossip blog I found this picture on had the caption 'thirsty soccer slut,' so I thought it'd be suitable for Valentine's." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lily lets out a small cough as she swallows her coffee and a laugh. "No, no. It's very suitable." There's something about this airbrushed version of her thirsty soccer slut that seems to fit with the absurdity of floating red cards and a corny Valentine's message. "He just looks-" different "-younger, that's all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I can age him. I created a Photoshop action for that." With a click of a button, the thirsty soccer slut has been transformed into a bearded and wizened wise soccer sage. "Is that better?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lily smirks. "Ah, that's what he'll look like when he gets older." It's a joke. It's something fun. But seeing Mateo like that makes Lily feel like she's drowning. Are they still going to be together when he looks like that? Why does that make her so anxious? "Why do you have a Photoshop action for that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Why wouldn't I?" retorts Francine, as if having the ability to age anyone at the click of a button is not only a reasonable, but necessary ability to have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lily feels immediately chastened by how immediate and matter-of-fact Francine’s reply is. “Oh. Do you use it often?” And if so, for what, she wants to ask, but one question at a time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Francine pauses in her work and stares into the middle distance, finding it hard to concentrate on her Photoshopping and Exceling while answering questions. After a moment, she gently closes her laptop shut.

“I forgot I left my 3D printer running upstairs,” she says, smiling sweetly at Lily. “I really must go or else I’ll have dozens of miniature model kidneys on my hands. I will send you your custom Valentine’s Excel macro within one business day. It was very nice catching up.”

She stuffs her belongings back into her giant-ass purse and then… she’s gone…
