“He’ll be fine,” Tanner promised, squeezing his hand. “Ron will make sure he’s fine.”

“Have a good trip.”

“Thanks, we will.”

“We’ll be here when you get back.”

“Of course you will, you don’t go anywhere.”

“Thank goodness.”

“You should come with us sometime, though.”

Ron smiled at Tanner. “That’d be fun. I haven’t been back to Teown’s Sound since I left.”
