I stuff my black leather gloves into my coat pocket, situate my mask on my face, place a Euro coin into the shopping cart to free it. At the check-out, my gloves aren’t in my pocket. I got them with my mom at an Ocean State Job Lots—my mom’s kind of Christmas present. I approach an employee. “I lost my gloves.” She looks into my eyes, must see a strange importance. She lifts the Ocean State Job Lots elegance from behind the drawer. I’m not going to see my mom this year. I don’t want to lose these gloves.
