“Thanks, man.” Carr ruffled Jesse’s ginger hair. “You’re the best thing I’ve got going on in my life.”
It isn’t true, Jesse thought. There are better things in his life. He has his AC group and family. He has places like Ecuador and the jungle. He has underdeveloped villages throughout the third-world countries that need his hard labor and help. He has deprived families who need and want his attention, houses to be built, love to be shared.

“Forget the clothes. I should just go to bed. I’m exhausted,” Carr said.
“You should. Sorry about the fire. Next time I’ll put the screen in front of the hearth.”

Jesse nodded, standing. “Good night, friend.”
“Good night, Jesse. See you in the morning.”
