for Bill and Benny
[ continued from here]
It did, indeed, seem like an excellent way to start the new year, and given how she'd spent Halloween, Maureen was beginning to wonder if this should become some sort of holiday tradition. Perhaps she ought to start tracking down a boy and a girl for Valentine's Day.
The three of them made their way from the party to Maureen's hut (now her hut alone, Mark's former room now empty and unused), Bill with Maureen and Benny on each side, arms wrapped around their waists. When they got there, Player ran around their feet in delight, but Maureen just patted his head and told him sternly to keep out of her bedroom for a while. Strangely enough, that was a command that the dog had figured out.
