I got you a present.Did you?It's a book of poetry--romancy stuff. I thought, 'How schmaltzy is that,' so it seemed like the thing. Then I screwed up and left it in my desk at work
In a lighthearted exchange, one character presents a gift of a book of romantic poetry, expressing the sentiment that it might be considered overly sentimental or "schmaltzy." The choice reflects a whimsical acknowledgment of traditional romantic gestures.
However, the character then realizes a mistake, having forgotten the book, "Innocent in Death" by J.D. Robb, at work. This detail adds a humorous twist, underscoring the challenges of gift-giving and the often imperfect nature of intentions.
