Ezra's Place to Tranquil Ocean Day Spa, Tuesday

Jar of kimchi, festooned with a bow and in a cute gift bag? Check.

Pair of tickets for a day spa? Also check.

Super-modest bathing suit bought explicitly for this occasion? Triple check.

Look, between their sort-of fight, his trip with Dante, the trouble with Zeke after prom, and his upcoming exhibition, Kathy was betting that Ez was feeling a little frayed around the edges. And, well, sometimes the best cure for that was a little bit of pampering.

Here was hoping Ez felt the same way.

Knock knock.

[For him in the post!]

"That sounds wonderful." No, really, food sounded like a fantastic idea because it didn't require anyone to touch him and it was a pleasure in its own right. And maybe his nerves would even calm the hell down during that. "Good plan, darling."

By no means could Kathy say she knew what made Ez tick, but she did at least have some insight into his personality. Enough, at least, to know that food was almost always a good suggestion.

"I thought I could tempt you with that," she said. "The menu made me regret being a vegetarian."

He did love stuffing his face. "That just means more for me," he decided with an easy-looking smirk. You know, like her being a vegetarian meant he had to eat meat for two. That was entirely how that worked.

Anyway. He tugged her through the portal, and away they went.
