It’s really starting to grate on Raleigh and when Chuck plays
asshole, he sort of sags, flashes him a grateful look and a mumbled
thanks.
His question sort of throws Raleigh though, and he looks thoughtful,
brings the cup to his lips and takes a long pull and swallows, shivering as
the hot liquid burns its way down his throat and into his stomach. Tastes
good, and it takes the bitter edge of his life away temporarily.
“Come just for the sake of coming? I did that first year, after you left
for school. It was – fucking awful, standing out here alone in the cold.
After that, I started volunteering to just run the booth. This time of
year, it just hasn’t been the same—“
Since you left.
And now it’s even worse, with Yancy in the hospital. It’s like someone was
conspiring against him to ensure that the holidays were the worst time of
year that they could be.
