"Does anyone want an electric griddle?" Miyuki always felt that Maki's message was meant for her. Even though she could have just mailed it, Maki said she and her boyfriend would deliver it. Their homes weren't exactly far apart, but they weren't exactly close either. Just like the distance between us, Miyuki thought. Back in college, Maki and Miyuki's husband had dated. Whether it was out of consideration for the other person or not, though it wasn't a secret, Miyuki and her husband had never discussed the matter. They used the electric griddle to make okonomiyaki and celebrated Maki's boyfriend winning the newcomer award for his novel. Maiko radiated pride. Her novelist boyfriend was humble and steady, but her husband looked completely out of place. This man had no cultural sophistication whatsoever--but Miyuki had never found him annoying or embarrassing before.
