”Good, I’ve been getting
enough lectures today.
What do you use, then?”

“It’s a… secret.”
”Of course not.”
Seth furrowed
his eyebrows.
”But a lighter is always
good to carry around.”
"Good. I wasn’t
going to lecture
you or anything.
I just… wondered.“

"Yeah, you’re
right. I lose mine
most of the time.
I use something
else instead.”
”Yeah,”
He reached into his pocked before he
handed it the the other. No, Seth didn’t
smoke, he was only fourteen. He used
it to other things.
“Thanks.”
He took it with a smile
and lightened it before
he gave it back.

“Do you smoke, kid?”
