He smiled.
“You always say that.”
“And I usually do.”
He became quiet.
Then said,
“About Grandma’s bracelet…”
“It’s okay.”
“No. I’m glad you sold it.”
I looked at him.
“Really?”
“This was worth more.”
I swallowed.
“Yes.”
He looked toward the field.
“That man said I didn’t understand the rules.”
“I remember.”
“I do understand them.”
“I know.”
“Better than him.”
I smiled.
“Probably.”
Caleb became serious.
“The rules are simple.”
“What rules?”
“You take care of people.”
I waited.
“You don’t take things that don’t belong to you.”
He pointed toward the wheelchair space.
“And when somebody needs the seat that belongs to them, you move.”
I smiled.
“Those are good rules.”
“He didn’t know them.”
“No.”
“Dorothy knew.”
“She did.”
“Harold probably knew too.”
“I think so.”
Caleb grinned.
“The lunchbox people.”
I laughed.
“The lunchbox people.”
We left through the accessible exit.
