The weekend away in the city did him good; he took the train down on Friday afternoon and spent Saturday and Sunday with friends and their daughter, who loved Sheila and fussed over her enough to last a few weeks at least (she smells a little bit like teenager-perfume). The next week was uneventful, and he followed his usual routine of home to school to home again, working studiously and not doing much in the way of getting out.
But now it's Friday again and there's still some unfinished business to take care of, so once school lets out around three he and Sheila make the easy, if cold, walk down to the bakery. His hand is clasped tight on her lead, and his quiet blue eyes are determined.
