I grab some of daddy’s great-looking barbeque and sit down at the table. Kai walks out and joins me.
Prosperity: What do you think of the house?
Kai: It looks great, ma. *brief pause* I have some news.
Prosperity: Good news, I hope.
Kai: It’s excellent news. I was accepted into Britechester and Foxbury colleges!
Prosperity: I’m not surprised. Either college should be glad to have you. Were you accepted into any distinguished programs?
Kai: Only at Foxbury – in Biology.
Prosperity: *surprised* But not at Britechester? Even after I called them and told them about you?
Kai: You did that?
Prosperity: Of course! That’s the advantage of having a parent graduate from college. If you attend Britechester, you’ll be a legacy student.
Kai hopes his mom isn’t expecting him to do that. He likes what Foxbury has to offer better.
Kai remains in the backyard after his conversation with his mother. Although he can use a shower, he decides to explore what’s below the ladder that’s tucked away in a corner of the yard. Kai climbs down and goes through a heavy door. There he finds what will easily be his favorite room in the house.
It’s a game room with a ping pong table, a gaming table, and a huge faux window.
Kai: *to himself* Can’t I just move my bed down here?
He realizes that he can’t, but that doesn’t mean he can’t take a nap on the couch.
Quincy gets out of the pool right on time. He now realizes that winter in Windenburg is a true winter. He warms his body up with a hot shower, then pulls out the leftover barbeque for dinner.
It’s still reasonably early, but with nothing else to do, Quincy relaxes on his bed and flips through the channels on TV.
His steamy shower leaves him in a flirty mood, and his conversation with Peri crosses his mind several times. Of course, he’ll never be over his beloved Alida, but would it hurt to seek out some company from time to time?
Q gets up from the bed and changes his clothes, thinking that maybe he can hit up a bar or something. But something stops him.
Quincy: *to himself* What the hell are you thinking? You’re too old for this sh*t.
Q walks over to Alida’s portrait.
Quincy: I’m sorry, ma. I forgot myself for a minute.
He undresses and crawls into his bed for the night.
