“‘In the training films there’s always music when they kiss,’ said the fox.
“I was so gobsmacked that my mouth hung open and I just sat there staring back at the fox while Abigail explained that they weren’t training films but telenovelas and she’d only shown them to the foxes because there’s only so many times she was willing to watch The Fox and the Hound.“
Yay, a talking fox! I live for these short Rivers of London moments with the foxes, especially Indigo because Indigo is even more adorable than most.
It's Valentine's Day and our narrator is hoping to win Abigail's affections. Unfortunately, they didn't plan on a talking fox and a ghost getting thrown into the mix. This is cute, short, and sweet, and it includes Indigo and Abigail so what more needs to be said?
3.9 stars, rounded up.

Moment Five: Abigail's Valentine 2014
This is one of Ben Aaronovitch's "Moments" -- very short writings about a character in a moment in time. (I don't want to say "stories", because most of them are not stories in the traditional sense.) This one can be found at https://us19.campaign-archive.com/?u=.... It is about Abigail Kamara, and a shy but admiring classmate of hers who takes advantage of Valentine's Day to deniably reveal his (or hers, but I think his) admiration. It is told from his point of view. If you have ever been a teenager in this situation you will recognize the predicament immediately. Abigail's character is illuminated only to the extent that we see how she is viewed by others.
It's a charming and relatable story-ish thing.
