Katrina walked into Den with a puzzled look on her face.
“Keiko, why am I seeing so many ads for strawberry dessrts? It’s still the dead of winter.” (And she shivered dramatically of course.)
Keiko laughed. “Didn’t you know that February is the peak season for strawberries in Japan?”
“I did not.”
Katrina paused to think about it. And quickly gave up. In her country strawberries were a spring or summer thing. Sometimes everything in Japan felt upside down. Like Valentine’s Day. What was even up with that? But she’d come to ask a favor.
“Do you think you could babysit Sakura for me after dinner tonight? Peter wants to take me to some dessert cafe for strawberry treats.”
Keiko beamed. Of course she would be happy to watch Sakura. And she knew just where Peter was headed. She had already been just a teensy bit involved in the plan.
