For 2 days, he (we) couldn't find them. I looked in the most unlikely places - basically everywhere in our house. I even sifted through the garbage, in case they got knocked off the shelf above at an absurdly precise angle. Where where could they be? You came in, put down your parcels, then... what? I coached. What if, I finally thought, they're in the bed? I shook out the duvet & voila! How did neither of us roll over onto them? I next put the keys on a lanyard ~ which he wore for the first time this morning, & called me not 5 minutes after he left the house, to say he'd left it in the hallway downstairs & would I pick it up. That man!
