the calendar is the window to the heart

"What's gotten into you, Connor? You look like you've just received a shipment of frosted poptarts a week early!" Poptarts observed, staring across the table at his best friend. They were at Connor's flat, where he planned to stay for his time at BYU. He lived alone, though elders dropped in every other day, and there would only continue to be more visits as they returned. There was only one pair left, anyways.
Arnold and the human sack of garbage disposals and hair products.

"Nothing, nothing! Why, do I look too eager? I'm Connor McKinley, what are you expecting?"

"For you to take it down a notch? No, but honestly. What's up with you today?"

"I told you. Nothing." Connor insisted.

Poptarts rolled his eyes but didn't press further. Instead, he produced a silver packet from his jacket pocket.

"Alright. Sooo... can I use your toaster?"

This time it was Connor's turn to roll his eyes. "Go ahead."

As he waited for the toaster to pop up, Poptarts glanced around McKinley's apartment. He noticed a calendar on a nearby wall and moved closer to nosily read the single event scrawled on it.

Kev and Arnold return!!!!

The toaster popped, and he collected the poptarts before heading back to Connor.

"Arnold and Kevin return today." Poptarts said in what he hoped was a casual manner. It wasn't.

"I know! Isn't it great?" Connor beamed, in an even less casual manner.

"It was great when the others returned, too."

Connor said nothing but stole a poptart.

"HEY! Those only come in packs of two, Connor."

"And I'll bet you have several more packs of two in that strangely lumpy jacket of yours, Chris."

"Fine, take it. I'll just toast a couple more. Like, a literal couple, see?"

"Ha, ha, ha," Connor said, "you're so funny. Ow. My sides hurt from laughing. I can't breathe. Wow tears streaming down my face. Poptarts that was genius. Ha. Ha. Ha."

Back in the kitchen, Poptarts took another noisy riffle through Connor's calendar.

Nobody else's returns were noted down.

He grinned to himself.
