Summary
On his doormat stands a young man, a college junior or senior Robby would guess, with wind-spun dark blond hair and a pale, almost pallid complexion. There’s a pair of battered headphones hanging from his neck with a strip of tape wrapped around a section of it. If Robby had thought Jake’s bag had seen better days, it was nothing compared to the backpack slung over the thin shoulder of this kid. Threadbare, not through neglect or mishandling (it looked a hell of a lot cleaner than most kids treated their bags, Robby could tell), but the telltale worn patches and warping that came from heavy books and dedicated studies. Robby could admire that.
He could also admire, he notices idly, the brilliant blue of otherwise sad-looking eyes.
Or: Dennis is Jake's babysitter. Robby is (still) Jake's step-dad. Dennis is very much into that (and maybe Robby is too).
