"Coffee and treats, as promised." There was a time (a beautiful time, a luxuriously desensitized time) when Rafael would show up with beers or even more illicit substances when meeting his friends. Now was different. Clean sober fun as he said to his friends at the AA meetings. Even better was the dog that he could spend some time with, further prompting him to reconsider his stance on not adopting a dog. Were there enough people in Blue Harbor who could take care of a dog on the days he was in Chicago? "Er, dog treats. Of course." He hadn't thought far enough ahead to consider food for them.
