Hubert blinked, giving Theodore a curious look. He didn't really get the whole "handsome" thing yet, but he thought Theodore looked pretty cool. "Hey, mister, you waiting for someone?" Hubert asked.

Theodore was a bit surprised. This kid couldn't be more than two, but he spoke so clearly. It reminded Theodore of Noomi, a kid he met at the hospital not too long ago. "Yeah, I'm waiting for someone," Theodore replied.

Today, Jack was driving. He probably had a bad lunch and needed a bathroom break. When they passed Golden Apartment, Jack asked if he could stop. Theodore said sure, and Jack quickly parked and dashed inside to use the security guard's restroom.

Hubert started chatting away, "Waiting is so boring. I always wait for my mom to get off work, and sometimes I fall asleep before she gets home." Theodore had never really talked to a kid before, but he didn't mind. Hubert wasn't annoying at all. "Your mom must be really busy at work," he said. "Yeah, she works hard to support us," Hubert said, sounding way older than he looked, his little face all scrunched up.

"What about your dad?" Theodore asked without thinking.

Hubert sighed, "Mom says Dad didn't want to stay home, so he went on a world tour."@@novelbin@@
