Lochlan just came home with a pick me up for me. McDonald's french fries and a big bag of colour-changing fire pinecones. He really knows the way to cheer me up. It's only marginally better than his usual drugstore bag of goodies with the lip balm, Archie comics and nail polish in a weird color, gummy bears, fruit-scented pen and notebook and a hair tie. I'm a simple girl. Seriously.
