Summary
He looked into the mirror, admiring himself. “Oh wow, it really is just like in the TV shows!”
Connie wanted to say it wasn’t exactly like the shows. In there, normally the boys gave the girls their jackets, especially when they were dating. But then again, Steven wasn’t normal.
Connie wasn’t sure she’d like him if he was.
So instead of pointing out the faux pa, she suggested. “Why don’t you keep hold of it for me?”
A bright smile split his face, entire galaxies in his eyes. Connie knew she’d made the right choice.
(It had the added benefit of warning off other girls who might take an interest in the young man Steven was becoming. Connie was two years into her ten year plan. She wasn’t going to let anyone destroy her hard work.)

“Wow…” Steven’s eyes grew wide at the idea. “And everyone just… knows about this?”
“I mean, kind of.” Peedee raised an eyebrow.
