Valentine's Day

It wasn't that Kate was one of those people who totally hated Valentine's Day and everything it stood for, but she'd never really cared much about it either. It was nice to get presents, but she'd lived on the island long enough now that she didn't expect anything.
Usually, what she expected on a day like today was something weird. The fact that she woke up in her own body had been nice and so far nothing seemed out of the ordinary. She didn't feel the need to tell everyone she loved them or act out of character. She didn't feel weird at all.
"I guess nothing is going to happen today," she said to Chang. "I should probably take you outside to play."
The dog bounced around the living room while she collected his ball and a pair of sandals, then raced through the door ahead of her when she opened it. Kate dragged her chair down off the porch and set it up in front of the hut, then began to throw the ball into the jungle for Chang.
"I'm glad you don't eat all my stuff," she said to him. "You know I'm not very good at being tough."

"I mean, I think it's totally true."
..That wasn't right.

"Have you noticed anything weird about today? This keeps happening, no matter what I say."

This was already starting to get on his nerves.

"I couldn't care less," he said, his voice rising in frustration. What was wrong with him?

"The island isn't doing anything for this holiday," he said with a dark, very obvious scowl.
