The Hold Steady was Kenny’s current favorite band. Normally, Jonah and Kenny didn’t like the same music. This time, however, Jonah had to admit that the band was hot. He liked the convoluted lyrics.

Jonah had to admit that Kenny had done most of the eating. He’d put on a bunch of weight in the year Jonah had been gone. From certain angles, he almost looked fat. Basic training would beat that out of him soon enough. By the time Emily got home, the clouds had parted revealing a perfect crescent moon. Jonah slipped out of the front seat, but then remembered the rose he’d bought at a convenience store.
