"Lemme see!"

Hachi may take pride in her ability to pry any secret from behind a pair of laughing eyes, but Nana's smile doesn't quite reach hers. The teddy bear had landed on their door-mat on Valentine's Eve, snuggling a soft felt heart and accompanied by a petite bouquet of pink rosebuds. A pity Nana preferred red.

Still, Hachi can't resist pretty things. She picks Teddy up, cooing more to herself than Nana, "Really, anyone except you would be grateful for a secret admirer…"

This time, Nana does laugh. Genuinely.

"Would hate to make you jealous now, wouldn't I."

It's not even a question, much to Hachi's annoyance. The blush heating the spot where Nana leans in and plants a kiss only makes matters worse.
