Adrian saw and listened to Katie cry like he was in a dreaming state. He watched her, but he made no move to comfort her. None of this seemed real to him. Jackpot made his way back to the bag of food, and Adrian saw that too, but he made no move to stop the dog as he buried his face in the bag. A moment later, he went back to looking at the fire.
Katie was pregnant. The child was his. Adrian always knew that this would happen one day, and, just like Kherrie, he considered himself extremely lucky that he didn't knock up some random skank that would probably abandon his kid while she went off and spent all of Adrian's gold.
After what seemed like an eternity, Adrian finally spoke.
"I guess I gotta start thinking about what I'm gonna do with my life after I can't play Quiddy anymore, huh?"
