The past few days have been no different for Curtis. Sure, the apartment complex is a bit more crowded than usual, and Newbie keeps trying to invite people to sleep in their suite because it's so big and there are so many homeless people laying around, but overall it's not so bad. Hope says there's a hurricane outside and so Newbie's safety proofed

Hope had been wandering around but after awhile she thought she ought to check back on Newbie and on Curtis. She wasn't sure if Curtis really understood about the hurricane since it was outside and she supposed he didn't really need to. They were safe in the compound. She set one of the grey emergency blankets down on his lap and pulled the other one around herself as she sat down next to him.

"Why don't you go fishing with him?" Hope suggested with a bright smile. "We could all go."

"Probably because I hate fishing," Curtis complains, irritated.

"When is the last time you went fishing?" Hope asked gently. He probably never had.

"I have no idea, but I don't even like fish so why would I want to go fishing?" he asks, crossing his arms.

"...to be with me and Newbie while we fish?"

"I'm sure we can do something together inside," he says flatly.

Hope sighed. "Well, yes, but that's not the point, Curtis."

"What is the point then, Hope?" Curtis snaps. He doesn't like to be reminded of his...aversion to the outdoors, or feeling as if he's being pressured to go out there.
