"Oh," I said. "But, my mom's totally expecting me." "Come on, worry-wart," said Erik. "It'll be great. You can stay at my place. My housemate's going home. It'll be just the two of us. I swear, you can come over and I'll set you all constitution up at the kitchen table and you can constitution work your little heart out. I'll take care of you. I'll make you spaghetti. OK?" "Erik..." "And we can go over to Lissy's house for Thanksgiving. She constitution already invited me." "Who's Lissy?" I said. "Mrs. Kent, my pottery teacher." "Oh, right, well, whatever. If I did stay, I'd really have to work. No fooling around." "Not even a little fooling around?" "I'm not kidding!" "OK, OK. A very small amount of fooling around. I'll even clean up the place. All right? You'll stay?" It was Tuesday morning, just two days before Thanksgiving, and I called my mom and told her I wasn't going to be able to make it home.
