It’s not just the things he does, because he has dinner waiting for me and Aunt Sookie most nights, and he goes running with me as usual in the morning. It’s more the way he does them, like he’s making a special effort to be attentive. He even drives me and Aunt Sookie back from her academy after work the next day, and heads over to the local supermarket with us to pick up groceries. He cooks dinner, while somehow managing to keep up a simultaneous three-way game of poker with me and Aunt Sookie, who is winning easily. When I ask her how, she smiles. “I got a lot of practice in when I was in Vegas in my twenties.” “What were you doing in Vegas?” Aunt Sookie shakes her head. “Let’s just say that things got a little wild and leave it at that, yes?” That sounds like the kind of story Drew and I are going to have to get out of her over the next hour or two.
