The next morning, Mike’s legs straddle a tree branch about twenty feet up in the air, outside Matt and Foggy’s dorm building. From here he has a good view of both the window to room 312 and the front stoop. He’s wearing a baseball cap a pair of shades and was careful to pull up the hood of his hoodie to conceal his face.
He reaches out with his senses and tunes in to an argument already in progress.
“Can you please stop with the imaginary twin act?”
“Fog. Please. I just need to know if this is red.”
“What? Who cares? You’re just going to take it off again within the next few hours…?” Mike hears Foggy take in a deep breath and let it out. “Is this, like, a coping mechanism? Were you doing this when you were at St. Agnes?”
“What??!”
“It’s OK, bud. Really. I think I’m starting to get it, a little.”
Mike bites his lip and struggles not to let out a loud, guffawing laugh. He knows that if he’s not careful, Matty will hear him.
“No, Fog, you’re really not.”
“It’s ok, Matt. If you want to have an imaginary older brother, I guess you can have an imaginary older brother… I just really don’t want to end up doing twice the laundry load this weekend.”
