“There is nothing for me to do,” he complained. “I’m not used to this!”


Troy shot him a quick look, softened with a smile. “It can’t be too bad. Enjoy it, get used to it. You’re not here to wait on me. As long as we’re sharing a home, it’s going to be an equal effort. We both have day jobs and we both have chores at home. That’s how my mother raised me—none of us kids got a free ride so I don’t expect one here either.”


Juan nodded after a moment of though. “Okay, I guess I can do that.” A smile danced through his eyes before it appeared in his lips. “Sometimes I still have trouble believing you’re for real. I have never had a friend like you, never knew people could be so kind and giving. Except family, but that’s expected, almost mandatory.”
