Let's Blow This Popsicle Stand

February 5, 2015 - 8:30 a.m. - Los Gatos

Steve and I are sitting in the common room: he just finished breakfast.

Steve:  Do you have a car?
Me:  Yes.  I brought the truck.
Steve:  Let's go!  I want to go home.
Me:  With me?  To my home?
Steve:  Of course.

You cannot tell me that he is incapable of free thought. 

Me:  I can't take you yet.
Steve:  She was here.
Me:  Eve?
Steve:  (annoyed) Who else?
Me:  (whispering in his ear) I know she is making you stay and I can't take you out.
Steve:  I know she put me here. She'll [have you] arrested.
Me:  Right.  I have to go.
Steve:  I can't go.
Me:  Right.  I'm so sorry.  I love you.
Steve:  Love you. Bob here at 12.
Me:  Yes.

He knows.  He understands.  How very painful for all of us.
