The two young men chatted while I carried the van into the house. I set the van on my kitchen table, gave a treat to the dog for being good and not hurting anyone, and after she dashed off, I sat at the table and stared at the van. Within a few moments, Casey patted Nick on the knee and said, I got this, man. Sit tight, rest up.
Casey opened the door and instinctively looked down; This is soooo freaky, man. So freaky, he said, smiling. He looked up and grinned.
Youre not kidding.
Right? he said as a leg, in thick brightish blue canvass cargo work pants slipped out of the van; at the hem was a black socked lower leg and a low cut black nylon Adidas sneaker with black leather trim and bright blue stripes on the sides. As the foot went down, lower, testing the firmness of the surface he was exiting onto, the hem of his pants caught on the running board and rode up showing off the thin gray band at the top of the crew length black sock and the teeny tiny Polo logo. Once he was sure that the table was safe, he stepped out of the van.
