The Valentine in the Drawer, Part 2

Our story tonight is called The Valentine in the Drawer, Part Two, and while it is connected to ⁠Part One⁠ (nothingmuchhappens.com/stories/the-valentine-i…), it is actually set long before the bit we heard last week. This is actually our first ever historical Nothing Much Story, something I had much too much fun with. If you manage to hear any of it, which I doubt, as you are already very sleepy, you’ll notice it is full of village easter eggs and familiar locations. It’s a story about a cold February morning, made bright and warm by an envelope slipped into a mailbox. It’s also about fogged up windows on a streetcar, a kettle about to whistle, red roses and marbles, galoshes stepped into with haste, and a small drawer in a desk filled with love notes.
