Keith paused a bit too long. His head was hurting, maybe because of the weather. Or the heat. Too many changes he thought.
"There a bit far away, he he, ummm too far to drive. So I'll just stay around you know. "
Max understood a bit because he didn't catch Keith's eye.
"That's good man, less they can bother you!"
That made Keith smile a bit.
A cool breeze now seemed to start. Not enough to cool the house down, that would take until night.
"What about you and me have a walk, maybe?"
The trees rustled above their heads, but they didn't say much.
"Where you living again?"
"Oh you know close to town kind of."
"Close to town, like in one of the town house's. What you doing to be able to afford one of them?"
"No no, like a little further. " Keith wanted to change the subject, sooner Max would realize he didn't need to drive him into town on the rainy night, but Keith was being polite.
Keith asked " You ever go there?" with that he nodded, to the Ethiopian restaurant.
"They've got the best coffee I've ever had on this planet."
Max laughed " You been to many others?"
Keith didn't know how to answer, just felt like he needed a coffee. One like
Spacecity
. That would fix his head.
