Summary
"What's her name?" the boy asked, a bit breathless behind the sound, and the man understood now, he recognized this pattern and could play this game.
"I didn't ask."
The boy fell back with that, chewing on it contemplatively. It took him a while to work up the courage to ask another question, but the man knew it was coming. They hadn't danced this little dance often, but it was increasing -- the boy was getting order, started to nick razors and magazines from every passing drugstore.
Must have been, what. Seventeen? Maybe? The man never asked.
