One smooth grey and white river stone, shaped somewhat like a heart and roughly the size of a fist
A piece of folded looseleaf paper Fourteen catnip toys, shaped like bananas
a plain white card with hearts embossed on the front
*all of these items are contained in a red department-store box, tied with a slightly grimy white ribbon.
The card, unsigned, reads (in black ink and spidery, slightly left-tilting scrawl): if every second here is true, our love is strong enough to guide the way and we'll walk through hands inside of hands hearts inside of hearts like vines grow, side by side and through follow the lights that line the streets connecting telephones follow the lights from house to house and they will lead you home they will lead you home cos there was never anywhere to go there was never anywhere to go but home if everything we are is real our memories are attics in those houses on the hill, our love is there above us holding everything so still and we are always here, yes we are always here so follow the lights that line the streets connecting telephones follow the lights from house to house and they will lead you home they will lead you home cos there was never anywhere to go there was never anywhere to go there was never anywhere to go but home...home.

On the looseleaf paper, there's a drawing of a man playing a guitar and a man with several cats around him. A speech bubble coming from the head of the man with a guitar reads: you don't realise how much i need you, love you all the time and never leave you please come on back to me, i'm lonely as can be, i need you said you had a thing or two to tell me how was i to know you would upset me? i didn't realise as I looked in your eyes you told me oh yes you told me you don't want my loving anymore that's when it hurt me, i'm feeling like this, i just can't go on anymore please remember how i feel about you i could never really live without you so come on back and see just what you mean to me i need you but when you told me you don't want my loving anymore that's when it hurt me i'm feeling like this, i just can't go on anymore! please remember how i feel about you i could never really live without you so come on back and see just what you mean to me i need you i need you i need you
