autumnal

Little Rat spent the night on Saturday. He slept on the floor by my bed and offered to vacuum my house the next morning. I didn't have any milk for his cereal.

He was scared, I think, about seeing Crazy A again. He was nervous and shrugged more than usual. Do you ever give Andy food? he asked when I made him lunch. Does Andy know how to ride the subway. Does Andy have to walk home by himself?

Later, when we walked through the neighborhood, he put his hand on my back everytime we passed a bum.
