Panic!

You'd think I'd know better.

I mean, really.  What bloke in his right mind saves his Valentine's Day shopping for Valentine's Day?

What was I thinking?

I wasn't. That's the problem.  I knew it was Valentine's Day, and I knew that I needed a gift for Hannah, but I didn't even really think about a gift until this morning, when I saw the flowers in the greenhouse.

Luckily, I got off work at noon, so I could spend some time searching for the perfect gift.  I wanted to get her something with daisies, because they're her favourite flower. I already had two bouquets of them ready at the flat, one for the dining table and one for the end table by the sofa.

I looked everywhere, it seems, until finally I found a small jewellers in Muggle London. I was looking for something nice, but not too nice--we weren't even officially going out, after all.  Yet.

I almost bought her a locket. It wasn't quite  what I was looking for, but it would've worked. But then, out of the corner of my eye, I found it. The perfect gift for Hannah.

I just hope she likes it.
