I’ve been….
…Eating pretty much constantly. My body must feel as though it’s been dropped into an oasis of food and rest, and is storing up for the hard road ahead. I have never been so hungry in my life.
I finish a sandwich and go to the fridge. My mother sees me from the living room and calls out, “How about a dish of ice cream?”
“I’ve already had two today.”
“Third time’s the charm!”
