I started listening to music while we walked the dark streets, trying not to think of you. Chelse and Lindsey were talking about the different diets they've both been on and which ones worked. Matt and Mike were smoking and not really saying anything. I think they were thinking about you, too.
A homeless man asked Mike for change and he threw a quarter at him. Matt just laughed and blew smoke in the old man's face. Chelse scolded Matt and then gave the man a ten dollar bill, and he thanked her and said "God bless you." Matt said "She didn't sneeze," and then we walked away.
I turned up Dear Monsters, Be Patient and pretended not to hear the homeless man's crying. I silently prayed that the monsters lurking in the dark would stay far enough us away from us tonight.
