âYou do?â I try to tamp down my excitement. âI mean, I guess you would. The first time the stranger from across the street leaves a container of food on your front step is probably memorable.â
âThey were good.â
I wiggle my fingers under Hansâs hand. âCan I ask you something?â
âUh-huh.â
âWill you tell me the truth?â
Hans slides me a look. âMaybe.â
I take a deep breath and ask, âDo you eat the stuff I leave for you, or do you throw it away?â
