In at least four years since you met Jade you have never seen her seek any kind of affection, neither from you nor from anyone else. But there are times when you can enjoy her clinginess; a week for every beginning of the month.

While you are working at your computer sitting on the sofa, you suddenly feel a weight fall on you. "Give me attention!"

It's Jade, with a hand on your chest gently pressing her forehead on your shoulder. You look at the calendar on the wall; it's the first of May.
