After the Concert.

We had a choir concert on Wednesday, and afterwards we went to Arctic Circle (like always).  He didn't have any money.  Ice cream cones are only 53 cents!  So I gave him a dollar when I noticed he didn't have any ice cream.  For a split second I saw something in his eyes when he looked at me and thanked me for the dollar, but then it was gone.

That was the best feeling right then.  It gave me hope that maybe he feels the same, but is just trying to hide it the same way I do.  I have been thinking about it ever since.
