My stomach growled. After a busy day without a bite, I realized I was starving.
The delivery guy confirmed Clyde's nand phone number. "Can you confirm, please?" "I guess..." I was at a loss for words. Maybe Clyde was being his usual thoughtful self? Recalling our college days, his gestures of care brought a slight smile to my lips.
