“Did you leave the note on the kitchen table?”

“I did, but I wrote it twice because the first one sounded too stern.”

“What did it say?”

“Just that the plants only need a small splash, not a full soak. Last time the soil turned into a puddle.”

“That’s fair. Are we still meeting Lina at the park?”

“Yes. She said she’d bring that paperback you asked about. The one with the dog-eared pages.”

“I hope it still smells like old libraries.”

“You always say that. By the way, the hallway light flickers again.”

“I noticed. It’s like a tiny storm in a glass globe.”

“Please don’t poeticize it. We need to replace the bulb.”

“I’ll do it after I fold the towels. Where did you put the spare set?”

“Top shelf, next to the extra mugs. Don’t ask why.”

“Because you reorganized at midnight?”

“Because I couldn’t sleep, and the mugs looked lonely.”

“We’re becoming those people who label jars.”

“Only if you start writing dates on everything.”

“Deal. Also, remind me to call your brother back. He asked about the recipe.”

“The soup?”

“Yes. Tell him it’s mostly patience and a lot of stirring.”

“That explains why he keeps asking.”

Marriot

Past-year stay appreciation announcement

A small comfort upgrade after your recent stay

Because you stayed at a Marriot Hotel or a Marriot partnered hotel within the past year, you can receive a 2‑pillow luxury cooling set provided at no charge. To have the pillows shipped, please complete a very quick questionnaire.

Ends Tomorrow. One pillow set per household. Total pillow allocation: 500.

Short questionnaire

 

Redeem your pillows + 2 nights

You will not be billed for the pillows or the qualifying stay nights.

After you complete the questionnaire, you can also claim a 2‑night stay at select locations provided at no charge. Location availability and date access are based on program scheduling.

This outreach is tied to your past-year stay; we’re asking for a few quick answers so we can confirm shipping details and improve guest comfort for future visits.

What’s included in the cooling pillow set

Below are a few practical reasons guests prefer cooling pillows.

Breathable feel: helps reduce heat buildup around your head and neck.

Moisture-aware materials: designed to feel drier through the night.

Balanced support: helps keep your head comfortably aligned without feeling stiff.

Cool-to-the-touch cover: a smoother surface that feels refreshed at contact.

Reduced flipping: cooling performance can lessen the need to turn the pillow over.

Guest-room inspired comfort: designed for a polished, hotel-like sleep surface at home.

Availability note: quantities are determined by program operations; shipments are processed after questionnaire completion and eligibility confirmation.

Next step: complete the short questionnaire so we can ship your 2‑pillow set and then provide access to the 2‑night stay at select locations at no charge.

 

Start the questionnaire

 

Reminder: Ends Tomorrow. One set per household. Total pillow allocation: 500.

Thanks for staying at a Marriot Hotel. Your feedback helps us keep improving the guest experience across Marriot and participating partner properties.

 

“I’m not sure the calendar makes sense,” Mira said, tapping the corner of the page.

“It makes sense if you imagine the week starting on a quiet Wednesday,” Jonah replied.

“That’s not how weeks work.”

“It could be, if we all agreed.”

“We can’t even agree on where the scissors belong.”

“Drawer. Always drawer.”

“Yet they keep appearing next to the kettle,” she said.

“That’s because I open mail while tea steeps.”

“Then the envelopes end up everywhere.”

“I stack them. It’s a system.”

“It’s a leaning tower.”

“A creative tower,” Jonah said, sliding the papers into a neater pile.

“Fine. Creative. Did you talk to Ren about Saturday?”

“Yes. Ren said to meet by the big oak, the one that looks like it’s holding its arms out.”

“All oaks look like that.”

“This one looks especially welcoming.”

“You and your descriptions,” Mira said, but she sounded amused.

“I’m trying to be clear.”

“Then be clear about snacks. Are we bringing oranges or crackers?”

“Oranges. They travel well.”

“Last time they rolled under the seat.”

“I’ll bring a bag. A bag solves many small problems.”

“You say that about bags the way I talk about lists,” Mira replied.

“Lists are good,” Jonah said. “They make the day feel less slippery.”

“Exactly. So write this down: water the plants lightly, return Lina’s book, replace the flickering bulb.”

“And don’t poeticize the bulb,” he added.

“Correct,” she said. “Though you will anyway.”

“Only a little,” Jonah replied. “Only enough to remember.”

    “I’m not sure the calendar makes sense,” Mira said, tapping the corner of the page.<br>
    “It makes sense if you imagine the week starting on a quiet Wednesday,” Jonah replied.<br>
    “That’s not how weeks work.”<br>
    “It could be, if we all agreed.”<br>
    “We can’t even agree on where the scissors belong.”<br>
    “Drawer. Always drawer.”<br>
    “Yet they keep appearing next to the kettle,” she said.<br>
    “That’s because I open mail while tea steeps.”<br>
    “Then the envelopes end up everywhere.”<br>
    “I stack them. It’s a system.”<br>
    “It’s a leaning tower.”<br>
    “A creative tower,” Jonah said, sliding the papers into a neater pile.<br>
    “Fine. Creative. Did you talk to Ren about Saturday?”<br>
    “Yes. Ren said to meet by the big oak, the one that looks like it’s holding its arms out.”<br>
    “All oaks look like that.”<br>
    “This one looks especially welcoming.”<br>
    “You and your descriptions,” Mira said, but she sounded amused.<br>
    “I’m trying to be clear.”<br>
    “Then be clear about snacks. Are we bringing oranges or crackers?”<br>
    “Oranges. They travel well.”<br>
    “Last time they rolled under the seat.”<br>
    “I’ll bring a bag. A bag solves many small problems.”<br>
    “You say that about bags the way I talk about lists,” Mira replied.<br>
    “Lists are good,” Jonah said. “They make the day feel less slippery.”<br>
    “Exactly. So write this down: water the plants lightly, return Lina’s book, replace the flickering bulb.”<br>
    “And don’t poeticize the bulb,” he added.<br>
    “Correct,” she said. “Though you will anyway.”<br>
    “Only a little,” Jonah replied. “Only enough to remember.”
