Glowing Up
Wednesday. Sun and clear skies again today, mostly, and a quiet one for some of the boys — Dash’s Sixth Form induction is over. Vanessa and Milo are working, while Gubs and Dash are in the process of moving. Now that Monty has left home, Gabriel’s snagged his old room, and Dash is upgrading too. They’ve been really good at working together to get all the clothes and furniture redistributed without much mess. It’s work as usual for me, with a long, busy, and vaguely annoying shift that lasted into the evening. When I got home, I discovered that the locusts boys had eaten all the meat and most of the vegetables, so making supper was a non-starter; luckily the kebab shop came to the rescue, and my dark, hangry mood melted away as if by magic.
